The spokesperson for the Senate, Abdullahi Sabi, said the leaked reports had vindicated the decision of the upper legislative chamber to reject Magu’s nomination as chairman of the EFCC. Abdullahi said: “Following several calls made to me today by journalists seeking my comments on the leak report on Mr. Ibrahim Magu which was more damning than the one submitted to us, I can only say that myself and my colleagues have been vindicated. “From that report which is now public, it is obvious the DG SSS even tried to give Magu soft landing in the report that was sent to the Senate. The recent report is messier and shows that our decision not to confirm his nomination was right.

“We therefore call on all Nigerians to continue to have full confidence and trust on the Nigerian Senate as it discharges its responsibilities according to the letter and spirit of the Nigerian constitution." Recall that Naij.com reported that forces opposed to the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as substantive head of the EFCC on Friday March 24, released a new seven-page letter by the State Security Service (SSS) expatiating on the corruption allegations against the anti-corruption czar.

The letter appeared to have been written in response to a request by Mr. Malami that the SSS should provide documentary evidence of its allegations against the acting EFCC chair. In its response, the SSS, through one Folashade Bello, sent the minister at least 12 documents.
One of the documents contained minutes of the 20th plenary meeting of the Police Service Commission in 2010 which reportedly reprimanded Mr Magu. Read more: https://www.naij.com/1095794-senate-justifies-decision-reject-magu-efcc-chair.html
