Suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has described his travails as one of the risks of his job.

He spoke after his release from detention, more than a week after he was taken into custody and whisked before a special presidential probe panel investigating corruption allegations against him.

Magu said he was shocked when he read the “trumped-up” allegations against him, adding that his ordeal was a case of “dog-eat-dog”.
