Update: Ex-Kwara Governor, Kwara Abdulfatah Ahmed Laments Detention By EFCC, Lack Of Access To Doctors, Cooks

Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, who is the former governor of Kwara state has lamented not having access to his medical doctors and personal cooks in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The former governor said these in a statement issued in Ilorin on Tuesday night by his spokesman, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba and made available to journalists.

He blamed the agency for continuing to detain him despite fulfilling all his bail conditions without any justification.

The statement reads: “As a former Governor, he has never defaulted in all previous invitations extended to him by the commission.”

The statement said that, “Yes, he is still with the EFCC and we are now at a dilemma over the issue because they keep changing the goal post during the match.

“The case is taking a new dimension which we don’t really understand for now.

“Initially they said they wanted him to produce two sureties who are federal directors.

“The sureties came and were asked to provide landed properties in Abuja. We see this as a contradiction”.

The statement added, “The case was initially handled by the EFCC office in Abuja before it was transferred to Ilọrin over the issue of jurisdiction.

“Additionally, he has been denied access to his doctors, medication and direct access to his cook”.

Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said it was planning to charge Abdulfatah Ahmed before a Federal High Court in Ilorin over an alleged diversion of over N10billion.
