A Federal High court sitting in Abuja says the senate acted within the law when it rejected the nomination of Ibrahim Magu as the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to the judge, JT Osgood, the senate is not a rubber stamp body and was only acting in compliance with the EFCC law when it screened and rejected Magu.
The judgment was made available to journalists in Thursday at a press briefing.
Magu was twice rejected as EFCC chairman by the senate, but he has remained in acting position
since November 2015.
