The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has denied the claims of Senator Shehu Sani that he is being prosecuted for being a fierce critic of President Buhari.
In a statement released by EFCC’s acting spokesperson Tony Orilade, the anti-graft agency asked Nigerians to detach President Buhari from Shehu Sani’s case as none of his rights have been abused.
He said “Invariably, claims in some quarters of the breach of his fundamental human rights, is merely in the imagination of the purveyors of such claims. Let it be stated clearly, that Senator Shehu Sani has questions to answer as regards the alleged involvement in name-dropping, and particularly that he obtained $25,000 from Alhaji Sani Dauda, the ASD Motors boss, in order to help shield him from investigations being carried out by the EFCC. For certain people to brazenly come out to defend a suspect, who is being probed for a serious offense as the one committed by Sani shows that they are not really conversant with his offense. It is unfortunate that certain people are ready to do anything to support evil for pecuniary gains. This is quite unfortunate”
