The suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, who has been detained for four days, on Friday asked, through his lawyers, to be granted bail by the office of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Muhammad Adamu.
Magu has been in detention since Monday after he was arrested while leaving the premises of the annex office of the anti-corruption agency in Wuse II, Abuja and taken to the Aso Rock Villa to face a special presidential probe panel that is currently investigating him.
