President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended Ibrahim Magu as the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), the BBC reports.
Magu reportedly spent last night in a police cell at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Headquarters in Abuja.
This followed a six-hour grilling by a presidential panel, chaired by Justice Ayo Salami, a former president of the Court of Appeal.
Buhari set up the panel to probe various allegations levelled against Magu, following a petition by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and the Department of State Service (DSS).
