The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has allegedly frozen the account of former Senator of Kaduna-Central and a fierce critic of President Buhari led administration, Shehu Sani.
According to Suleiman Ahmed, Senior Special Adviser to Sani, who made this allegation in a statement on Sunday, the EFCC also forced the ex law maker to declare his assets.
Recall that The Herald reported that Sani was arrested on New Year ‘s Eve by the EFCC operatives in Abuja for allegedly extorting $10,000 from Dauda, the Chairman of ASD Motors.
Daudu had petitioned the anti-graft commission’s boss, Ibrahim Magu, accusing the senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Senate of extorting $10,000 from him.
Daudu accused Sani of demanding $20,000 dollars to help him settle an ongoing case with the EFCC, adding that he gave the senator $10,000 out of the demanded sum.
Suleiman in his statement then questioned the legal correlation between the way the EFCC had been handling the case of Sani and the alleged case before him.
Ahmed said,
“Mr Orilade, what is the connection between allegations of extortion of $25,000 and then searching his residence, blocking his accounts and forcing him to declare his assets?
“What can you say on the allegation that the accuser of Shehu Sani can neither read nor write; that it was the EFCC that guided him on what to say?

“We have it on record that Shehu Sani’s accuser has no pending case with the Supreme Court, how did he give Shehu Sani bribe to give the CJN?
“We have it on record that Shehu Sani’s accuser has no pending or ongoing case with the EFCC, how did he give Shehu Sani bribe to give the EFCC or its chairman?
“It is not enough posting statement about Shehu Sani. If you have any evidence or fact, why not post it now?”
