I was Subjected to Traumatizing Interrogations by EFCC ‘In the name of Fictional 24 or 25 Thousand Dollars Extortion’ – Sani

A former Lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, Shehu Sani has described his experience in the hands of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as traumatizing.

Sani in a statement on Saturday said his detention was unjust and breach of his fundamental rights.

“My incarceration for 30 days in the jail of EFCC was unfair, unjust and a clear breach of my fundamental rights and hence stands condemned.

“During my unjust stay in the EFCC cell, I was subjected to traumatizing interrogations; My Houses and offices where searched, they compel me to declare my assets, they tried to subject me to polygraph lie detector tests, my accounts were blocked, my phone was seized all in the name of fictional “24” or “25” thousand dollars extortion.

“Any Information planted in the media by the EFCC spokesperson while I was in their custody about me is outrightly false and nothing but a bacterial and fungal infested concoctions, typical of their style.

“Our Country will Continue to be at the bottom strata of the transparency International index as long as our anti graft agencies only uses their might and arsenal to crush ants while lacking the courage, the heart and the liver to confront the snakes, the vultures and the hyenas of the ruling establishment.

“They can frame me, detain me but can’t silence me. I shall abide by all the conditions of my bail and appreciate the courage, compassion and wisdom of the court in granting me the bail” he said.
