The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked claims by the former senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani that he was detained in an underground cell for 30 days.
In a statement issued by the Head of the zonal office, Aminu Aliyu, who took journalists round the EFCC facility, the Commission said that such a cell does not exist in the commission.
He added that some suspects preferred coming back to the cells after arraignment in court than being taken to prison.
“As you can see for yourself, we do not have underground cells here.
Most of the suspects begged the judges to be taken back here because of the facility on the ground”, NAN quoted him as saying.
“They eat normal food and three times a day, we have a clinic here where detainees are first treated in case of an emergency.
“If anyone of you thinks all these have been arranged, you are welcome to come at any time you chose, to spend time with us and see for yourself.
“If you want to visit any of our facilities across the country, you don’t need to give us prior notice of your coming.
You can even arrange it as a group of reporters if you don’t want to come alone,” he said.
