Our source notes that this is the first time the CCB has been publicly mentioned in the case against Magu since his probe began months ago.
The former anti-corruption boss was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, July 7, to allow him to face a probe into the allegations of misconduct against him.
Magu has continued to deny any wrongdoing. He claimed that some powerful people in government were working against him because he stepped on their toes while doing his job.
His lawyer, Wahab Shittu, also denied that Magu ever admitted any guilt in the allegations against him.
Shittu alleged misrepresentation of Magu’s closing remarks before the Justice Ayo Salami’s commission of inquiry investigating the accusations against him.
Shittu said Magu did not at any time admit guilt before the probe panel, stressing that he only pleaded for justice and fair-play by the panel members.
