The Senate on Wednesday declared that its rejection of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, means that the anti-graft boss has lost his capacity to remain in office.

This was disclosed by the Senate spokesman, Abdulahi Sabi, after plenary on Wednesday afternoon.
