The Presidency has said Nigerians should expect surprises from the report of the panel probing the suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stated this on Sunday while appearing on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’.
Shehu said the the Justice Ayo Salami-led panel would soon submit its report soon but the updates available to the Presidency showed Nigerians would be surprised.
He, however, refuted the claim that the probe was a witch-hunt as alleged by Magu’s lawyers.
“I guess this is a question for the Justice Ayo Salami panel and I must say that panel is composed of some of this country’s most honoured people with integrity who will do the right thing.

“I am not going to pre-empt the panel investigation but I just advice Nigerians to hold their hearts in their hands. By the time they are done with this job and they come out with the reports prepare yourselves for surprises.
“I don’t know what will come out but if the sense we are getting from what is being done over there is anything to go by, I think that Nigerians should not be confused by any outbursts by anybody,” Shehu said.
Recall that the Presidency had suspended Magu and about 11 directors of the anti-graft agent respectively before and while the investigation was going on.
