The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed allegations by businessman, Abdullahi Bashir Haske, son-in-law to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, that his rights were violated while in the agency’s custody.
Haske had claimed in an interview with The Africa Report that he collapsed during interrogation at the EFCC and was hospitalised. He has since filed a lawsuit against the anti-graft agency over the alleged violation.
Reacting to the report on Tuesday, the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, said the commission had not received any court processes regarding Haske’s claims.
