It was reported that some NFIU officials had visited Justice Ayo Salami panel investigating Ibrahim Magu on the 9th of July which was on Thursday to discuss how the ex-acting EFCC boss uses some suspected accounts to move money.
They could have shown the evidence and information gathered to Justice Ayo Salami panel but it was said by the NFIU officials that they do not move around with sensitive information like that according to their protocol, so they asked they Justice Ayo Salami panel to visit their new office to see the information gathered on Ibrahim Magu money laundering on the 10th which was the next day.
The evidence which was supposed to be shown is now being destroyed on that same day Justice Ayo Salami panel was supposed to see it. (very fishy).
