Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu has been suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari.
This comes a day after he was invited and detained by officers of the Department of State Security (DSS) in Abuja.
The EFCC boss is currently facing the presidential panel headed by Justice Ayo Salami to probe the various allegations leveled against him.
He was grilled by the panel probing allegations of gross misconduct against him but the panel was unable to conclude with him before he was taken into police custody.
News of his suspension filtered as the panel resumed sitting on Tuesday for more questioning.
Recalls that the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, had written to the President accusing Magu of engaging in corrupt activities.
Malami was also quick to name replacements for Magu.
