It was a mild drama at the venue of the presidential panel probing suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFFC), Ibrahim Magu when chairman of the Panel, Ayo Salami walked out some lawyers from the venue.
The Chairman of the Panel ordered both Zainab Abiola and Aliyu Lemu, who are Magu’s lawyers, to step out of the venue shortly after they were introduced.
Trouble began after Wahab Shittu, who has been appearing for Magu, stood up to introduce other members of the legal team.
But Salami interrupted Shittu, insisting that only Shittu would be allowed to defend Magu.
He, thereafter, directed the security operatives to walk the lawyers out of the venue.
The Panel is investigating Magu over alleged abuse of office and corruption.
