Tense drama ensued at the venue of the presidential panel probing Ibrahim Magu, suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFFC), when head of the panel, Ayo Salami ordered some lawyers out of the session.
Salami asked security operatives to walk out Zainab Abiola and Aliyu Lemu, Magu’s lawyers, out of the presidential villa venue shortly after they were introduced.
This decision which led to mild pandemonium began after Wahab Shittu, who has been appearing for Magu, stood up to introduce other members of the legal team.
But Salami interrupted him, insisting that only Shittu would be allowed to defend Magu.
He, thereafter, directed the security operatives to walk the lawyers out of the venue.
