Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has responded to a query given to him by Abubakar Malami, the attorney-general of the federation, PUNCH is reporting.

On Wednesday, TheCable reported that Magu had been asked by Malami to respond to the allegations of corruption levelled against him.

This is owing to the investigation President Muhammadu Buhari ordered into top government officials accused of corruption.

However, it was learnt that Magu has responded to query after a 48-hour ultimatum was given to him.
