12 directors and other top officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have been suspended.
The notice of suspension was communicated to the Acting Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Mohammed Umar, on Tuesday night by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation.
The suspension is connected to the ongoing probe of the suspended acting chairman of the agency, Ibrahim Magu.
But there is anxiety in the commission on the suspension with some of those affected claiming that they were not directly involved in Magu’s administration, the Nation reports.
