A group, Coalition for the Defense of Democratic Rights, Justice and Equity in Nigeria, has written an open letter to Mallam Ibrahim Magu, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over what it termed the illegal detention of Senator Ayo Adeseun at the Lagos office of the commission in the last eight days
The group stated that Senator Adeseun was only one of the signatories that took delivery of the 2105 campaign fund from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), adding that he was simply invited by the anti-graft agency to make some clarifications on a matter which, to them, was an internal affairs of the party.
The group added that it was not out of place for Senator Adeseun to assume the fulcrum and nucleus of the move to re-organise and orchestrate effective opposition against the ruling APC government, which could be the adduced reason for what the group said was the reason for Adeseun’s illegal detention.
