Lawyer to the former Secretary to the government of the Federation, Mr Pius Anyim, Mr Mike Ozekhome has insisted that Anyim is still in custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and he is being kept in ‘inhuman and degrading condition.’
Ozekhome described earlier reports by the EFCC that Anyim has been released as misleading. He said in spite of fulfilling all administrative bail conditions, Anyim is still been kept in the custody of the anti-graft agency.
The EFCC had earlier obtained a court warrant to keep Anyim in its custody. He was arrested for allegedly collecting the sum of N520 million from a former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki. Less than two days after his arrest, reports indicated that the EFCC released Anyim and instructed that he should report to the commission every two weeks after meeting his bail conditions.
Ozekhome in the statement on Friday, however, insists that Anyim is still in custody despite depositing his international passport.
