It is a hard time for the suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, as more damning revelations have continued to confine him in murky waters.

A fresh report by the presidential probe panel grilling the embattled anti-corruption chief has accused him of using christian clerics to funnel huge sums of monies abroad. Magu who is being detained by the police in Abuja, is presently being interrogated by retired Justice Ayo Salami-led panel.

A copy of the report made available to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Saturday in Abuja disclosed that the founder of the Divine Hand of God Prophetic Ministry, Abuja, Dr Emmanuel Omale was used by Magu to launder funds.

Omale’s name was uncovered through an investigative report on EFCC’s activities by the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and mentioned in the final report of the Presidential Committee on Audit of Recovered Assets (PCARA).

The report indicated that the relatively unknown pastor suspiciously purchased a landed property in Dubai, UAE worth N573 million of behalf of Magu.

“Another individual who is helping in laundering funds for the Acting Chairman and who has been referred to in several petitions is one Pastor Emmanuel Omale of the Hand of God Prophetic Ministry.

“He’s reported to have travelled to Dubai with Mr Magu, and his name was used in purchasing a property in Dubai for Mr Magu.

“As an unknown pastor, the NFIU’s report showed the huge movement of funds ranging from N573,228,040.41,” the report said.
