A counsel to embattled former acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Tosin Ojaomo on Tuesday lamented that justice has not been served on Ibrahim Magu’s case.

Ojaomo stated this at some stage in an interview on Channels TV – ‘Politics Today’ monitored via The Nation.

The Nation reviews the Ayo Salami-led presidential panel was commissioned to research the suspended acting chairperson of the anti-graft agency.

He said: “Suddenly, no file came out, and another appointment become made… Justice has surely now not been performed on this remember, to Magu, we are speaking approximately people’s integrity, reputational harm has been achieved to people.

“It isn't pretty much Magu alone, there are other humans on the fee which have been suspended, some of these humans, their integrity is now at stake as if their be counted is a forgotten count number.

“When it involves trouble of justice, the phrases of Justice Oputa always come to my mind, who talked about issue of justice, he said justice is a 3-way visitors; justice to the complainant, justice to the accuser and to the society..

“In this count number, justice has not been served to the Nigerian humans due to the fact all and sundry was looking forward to to recognize the outcome of the investigation. There had been lot of news inside the media about Magu, and people have now been put on suspense.

When requested about if the final results of the document changed into now not in Magu’s favour going by way of the President’s new nomination, he stated it'd be speculative to push aside that the file isn't always in Magu’s favour.

“It would be speculative to say the report became no longer in Magu’s favour, frequently, inquiries have been conducted on this country, and document had been released and those had been capable of make their personal unbiased judgement from the record of the research but in this case, an research became carried out, and report became now not launched, the whole lot become simply media reportage that people are counting on.

“At least this is what they name authorities have to be accountable to the humans, the government have to let us realize the purpose for this indecision.”
