EFCC Stops Visits To High-Profile Detainees, Phone Calls

Ibrahim Magu of EFCC

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has stopped people from visiting high profile Nigerians in its custody. The commission has also stopped all suspects and inmates from making phone calls to their lawyers, family members and loved ones.

An EFCC said that the Commission is getting worried over the spate of solidarity visits recently by friends, party members and relatives to many of the politicians in custody, including Bala Mohammed and Femi Fani-Kayode.

The EFCC order stopping such visits and phone conversations was contained in a circular from the office of Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu.

The order came a few hours after the release on bail of the former Nigerian minister of state for Defence, Musliu Obanikoro and special adviser to the former President Goodluck Jonathan on media and publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati yesterday, Friday. [myad]
