Mr. Magu to request the Panel to summon the
AGF to prove the allegations. After some reluctance, the Panel issued a subpoena on the
AGF to testify at the Panel, but the
AGF, blatantly ignored the summons. In the absence of the vital evidence of the
AGF the Panel decided to listen to suspects charged with serious economic and financial crimes by the
EFCC under the leadership of
Mr. Magu. Of course no sooth sayer is needed before one would know that such witnesses have an axe to grind with
Magu and therefore, their evidence will, most likely, be tainted. Expectedly, the witnesses were reported to have given evidence against Mr. Magu. Although, the law is trite that evidence which ought to be given but is not given will be presumed to be against the person who refused to give such evidence if given. See

By Emeka Obasi
This is not soccer where Super Falcons battered Nzalang Femenino of Equatorial Guinea 9-0 in Turkey. It smells like a game and the best way to describe it is nine kpondo in pidgin. I am talking about appointments in Nigeria Paramilitary Agencies.
The situation report is that all nine paramilitary organisations are headed by officers from the Northern part of the country. The South is left empty handed which is a strange development at this time when all forms of strange faces are roaming the forests with the best of military weapons.

Kingsley Nwezeh looks at the nomination of Mr Abdulrasheed Bawa as the Chairman-designate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the controversies that led to the exit of his predecessors, the emerging, valid arguments about the lopsided appointments and violation of the federal character principle among others
The nomination of the Chairman-designate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commision (EFCC), Mr Abdulrasheed Bawa, was applauded in many quarters as it presented an opportunity for a fresh start for an agency whose past leadership usually ended in controversial circumstances.
There is also the issue that the chairmanship of the commission now looks like a position reserved permanently for Northern Nigeria. Nobody from Southern Nigeria has occupied the seat since the establishment of the agency in 2004.
