Why Magu should be forced to sleep in cell rather than mosque – Shehu Sani

Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central lawmaker, says the suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu, should be made to forcefully sleep in a cell.

Mr Sani stated this while reacting to reports that the anti-graft czar, accused of corruption, preferred to sleep in a mosque rather than a cell where suspects are lodged.

Mr Magu, arrested earlier in the week, is still being detained on the orders of a 7-man presidential panel investigating his activities while he held sway at the commission since 2015.

The former lawmaker is one of those who have received the hit from the hammer of the embattled EFCC boss. He is facing trial for alleged extortion of $25,000 from a businessman.

Although, he voluntarily honored the invitation of the anti-graft agency in company of his lawyers, the former Senator spent nights in its underground cell before being arraigned.

In a Facebook post, the former lawmaker explained that Magu who kicked against sleeping in the mosque at the time he was being detained, does not want to be kept where he kept suspects.

“When they took me to their Cell the inmates respectably said that I should sleep in the mosque,but their now embattled Boss said no to sleeping in the mosque,so I slept in the Cell,” Sani explained in the Facebook post Saturday afternoon.

“I just read somewhere that he refused to sleep in the Cell and went to sleep in the Mosque of the FCID.Its wrong to sleep in the Mosque.He should be returned to ZA CELL,” he said.
