Assassination Story A Lie! Police, DSS In Gun Duel Where Magu Hid Stolen Loots

Personnels of the Department of State Services [DSS] has reportedly killed an officer during a gun duel with policemen guarding loots hidden by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] boss, Mr Ibrahim Mustafa Magu.

The fire exchange, according to reports, took place in a farm in Karshi, a suburb of Abuja, the federal Capital Territory.

The incident took place late Tuesday evening, when the police officers guarding the loot secretly kept by Magu opened fire on the DSS personnels. 

The latest report discredited earlier unfounded reports of an assassination claims by sources that men of the underworld attempted to kill Magu.

According to Denisaurus News, an EFCC staff placed an emergency call to them as soon as they heard what was happening. 

Magu currently lives in a luxurious apartment in Maitama District of Abuja, which was furnished for him by a retired Air Commodore, a guest in one of DSS cells. 

Denisaurus News further revealed that the farm house in Karshi is a newly acquired property, which the EFCC boss does not want the public to be aware of.

Effort to reach the EFCC spokesman, Mr Wilson Uwajuren for confirmation proved abortive as he is not responding to calls or SMS.

It could be recalled that DSS had asked The Senate to reject Magu’s nomination as substantive chairman citing cases of corruption.

In response, The Senate had in turn written President Muhammadu Buhari asking him to drop Magu and appoint another person to head the anti-graft agency.

President Buhari had, however, remained adamant and stuck with Magu to lead his war against corruption.
