The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, on Thursday stated that he is happy that the Senate did not confirm him as the chairman of the Commission.
In his statement he claimed that if he had been confirmed by the Senate, maybe he would not have been abe to perform as much as he had done.
Magu stated this before the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja where he was testifying in a libel suit he filed against The Sun Newspaper.
The Sun Newspaper had been sued by the acting chairman of EFCC for a series of publications which he described as libellous and injurious to his character.
Magu before Justice Doris Okuwobi had claimed N5bn damages and also demanded that The Sun Newspapers should publish an apology and retract the alleged libellous publications.
Magu told the court that he had only a house which is in the Karo area of Abuja contrary to the publication of The Sun Newspaper which alleged that two houses were traced to his wife by the Department of State Services.
