OFFICERS of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), who investigated Process and Industrial Developments (P & ID)

, are still on suspension, despite the United Kingdom court verdict against Irish firm, a lawyer, Mr. Wahab Shittu, has said.

He said: “The public does not know that while this investigation was ongoing, the investigators and the prosecutors including Magu used to close from work at 1am, 2am and resume by 8am including Saturdays and Sundays. “Luckily, we have an upright English judge, who prudently appreciated the excellent and patriotic effort of the EFCC under Magu and the ineffectiveness of the AGF’s complaint.”

“The decision once more shows that, rather than punish Mr. Magu over his handling of the investigation, he should be given a heroic commendation for saving the country in a huge way. Magu should be celebrated rather than be vilified. “However, I cannot accept Mr. Mill’s submission that there was no proper deligent investigation. The basic point is that there was no specific information such that Nigeria ought to have become aware of the building blocks of fraud now alleged.”
