The ongoing grilling of Magu is has been a trending topic in Nigeria for the past 24 hours.
Inside sources say there are weighty allegations against the anti-graft boss and the presidential panel is seeking to unravel the truth.
As expected, on social media, Magu is the number one trending topic in the country as many Nigerians shared their thoughts on his ordeal.
Bolanle Cole Esq wrote on Twitter: President Buhari should apologise to the Nigerian Senate led by Bukola Saraki and Nigerians for imposing Magu on us against his rejection twice by the Senate. Saraki meant well for Nigerians.
Gimba Kakanda wrote from another perspective: If Magu is ever found guilty of this, the irony of being a perpetrator of the very vice he was employed to stop, may demoralize a generation of change-makers misled to think that change has come.
Olusola Jide is already suggesting a replacement: I think it will make sense to return Nuhu Ribadu to replace Magu as EFCC boss even if it's just in an acting capacity. At least he is not known to be corrupt. That guy held corrupt guys by their balls. He was fearlessly fearless.
Magu's ordeal is coming two weeks after the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and minister of justice, Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN), recommend his removal to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Malami, in a memorandum to the president, anchored his recommendation on several grounds “raging from diversion of recovered loot to insubordination and misconduct” by Magu.
Meanwhile, Professor Femi Odekunle, a member of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), has said the plans to replace Magu are already in motion.
He made the allegation in a statement sent to journalists on Monday, June 6 in reaction to Magu's invitation to the presidential panel.
