In a statement on Sunday, Sani’s senior special adviser, Suleiman Ahmed said the former senator was “forced to declare his assets”.
The EFCC had arrested Sani for reportedly demanding money from Sani Dauda, owner of ASD Motors, to give to, acting chairman of the anti-graft agency, Ibrahim Magu so as to influence an investigation.
But Sani denied the allegation, the anti-graft agency mantained he had questions to answer on the matter.
In the statement, Sani’s aide accused the EFCC of bias in his boss’s case, and he listed questions for the agency to answer.
He wondered why the EFCC has not detained Sani’s accuser “who admitted to giving bribe” and why it has not invited “Alhaji Samaila Isa Funtua who was mentioned in the frame up against Shehu Sani?”
“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?” he asked the EFCC.
