The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has confirmed an attack on the property of the acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, which resulted in the death of a policeman .
The commission said this in a statement by its spokesman , Mr . Wilson Uwujaren , on Wednesday .
The property is not the current residence of the EFCC boss who lives in Maitama .
According to the anti -graft agency, the property, a farmhouse located in Karshi , a suburb of Abuja , was attacked by gunmen at about 10 pm on Tuesday .
The EFCC said although it would not want to speculate about the motive of the attack , it would not be intimidated by anybody as it continues to tackle corruption in the country .
The statement added , “ The unidentified men murdered a police sergeant on duty . The incident was the second of such attack on the same farmhouse .
“ While the commission will not speculate on the motives for the attack or the sponsors , it wishes to state that the EFCC, under the leadership of Ibrahim Magu, will not be deterred in its mission to rid Nigeria of corruption . ”
The property, which was attacked , was said to have been under surveillance by the Department of State Services and had even been searched on several occasions by the DSS for unknown reasons .
Although Magu has never been attacked since assuming office in November 2015 , there have been attacks on the EFCC offices and the anti-corruption agency’ s officials this year .
On June 24 , 2017 , an official of the anti -graft agency, Austin Okwor , who is attached to the Property Fraud Section of the EFCC zonal office in Port Harcourt , was shot while leaving his office .
