‘The Commission declined the promotion of CP Magu pending clearance from the office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General of Police,’ he said.
Magu, who was former EFCC chairman was suspended indefinitely by President Muhammadu Buhari over alleged cases of fraud.
