Lagos lawyer and activist Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa yesterday wrote the Senate President Bukola Saraki and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mahmud Malami (SAN), seeking clarification on the status of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) acting Chairman Ibrahim Mustapha Magu.
In the letter to Saraki, Adegboruwa demanded an official clarification of the Senate’s position on Magu’s confirmation.
He asked for record of the Senate’s proceeding of December 15 when it declined to confirm Magu.
Adegboruwa asked Malami to confirm Magu’s status at EFCC and the capacity he functions.
Both requests, Adegboruwa said, were in line with Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act, which guarantees the right of any citizen to have access to information from a public official on any matter.
Adegboruwa said he was expecting their response in seven days as stated under Section 4 of the FOI Act.
