The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has expressed shock at the wanton waste of life and the desperation to assassinate the acting EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu.
MURIC narrated that unknown gunmen have again attacked the house of Ibrahim Magu killing a police sergeant on duty.
MURIC director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, noted that the incident took place on Magu’s property located at Karshi, an Abuja suburb two days ago.
MURIC noted that this is the third attempt on the life of the EFCC boss in 2017, stressing that, there is no iota of doubt at this time that a powerful corrupt person or persons whose case or cases are being investigated are determined to eliminate the no-nonsense anti-graft fighter.
“The handwriting is on the wall and the Federal Government must give marching orders to the nation’s security agencies to leave no stone unturned in the mission to protect Magu.
“Some powerful people just want him out of the way by hook or by crook. They want anyone else except Magu as head of the EFCC.

“This man should not just be sacrificed like that. He is not fighting a personal battle. He is on a mission to rescue Nigeria from the abyss of moral debauchery.
MURIC noted that Magu is fighting for both the present and future generations. Corruption must not be allowed to win the battle.
“Nigerians will lose hope in this war if the arrow head is eliminated. We believe it is high time FG read the riot act to the security agencies.
“Heads must roll if anything happens to Magu,” MURIC stressed.
MURIC demands round-the-clock impregnable security network around the person of Magu, his house as well as members of his nuclear family, no more, no less.
“No option should be underestimated, including his consumables and the possibility of the use of explosives anywhere around his vicinity.
“This is not asking for too much because any successor of Magu will have been intimidated if the latter is eventually eliminated.
“The implication of this for the war against graft is better imagined.”
