Parties demand sack of NSA, EFCC boss for alleged corruption

The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has asked the National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Mohammed Babagana Monguno (rtd.) to resign over the shady dealings he superintended at the Presidential Investigative Committee on Arms Procurement saying the indictment and arrest of a member of that committee by the Department of State Services (DSS) is an indictment for which he must leave office within seven days or face nationwide protests.

Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu similarly came in for hard knocks as he was also asked to resign within the same time-frame over his indictment by the DSS.

The conference in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by its National Chairman, Alhaji Balarabe Musa and Secretary General, Chief Willy Ezugwu noted that it was not possible that Air Commodore Umar Muhammed (rtd.), who was arrested by the DSS for alleged fraudulent deals involving top government officials, could have acted without Monguno’s involvement.
