The presidency has suspended Ibrahim Magu from Acting as the chairman of the Economic and financial crime commission EFCC.
A strong source who wants to be deported from the White House has confirmed it to the BBC on Tuesday.
Ibrahim Magu appeared before the Presidential Committee on Monday to investigate allegations of wrongdoing.
The committee – chaired by former Justice Ayo Salami – invited Mr Magu to hear from him on issues related to his leadership at the EFCC.
Some sources in Nigeria have confirmed that Magu has spent the night in custody by security forces because investigations were not completed Monday.
