Security agents on Wednesday whisked away an Abuja based lawyer, Barrister Victor Giwa and a lady while testifying before the retired Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential Panel on Magu inside Aso Villa.
Anaedoonline.ng reports that they were testifying in the ongoing probe of suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.
