The Wednesday attack on the property of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu has been confirmed by the agency. It 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 by 10pm 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 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.”
