Raw Fury Unleashed: Atiku Slams EFCC Over Muhammad Kazaure's Detention
Arrest of Kazaure: Atiku Accuses EFCC of Persecution, Labels It a Witch-Hunt
Let Loose: Atiku Abubakar, a former VP and top-dog PDP presidential candidate, is outspoken about the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's (EFCC) recently arresting Muhammad Kazaure.
[Our ballpark] reports that Kazaure, a former House of Reps rep, is accusing the EFCC of silencing opposition voices by cuffing him up in response to his critique of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
The ex-VP [went off] in a Saturday statement, underlining that the EFCC needs to publicly divulge the reasons for detaining any Nigerian citizen.
[Some calling it] his critique of the Tinubu administration's maladministration, led to Kazaure's arrest by the EFCC. Atiku cautions against utilizing the EFCC to single out opposition voices using bogus graft and financial crime allegations.
[According to the tea], the EFCC is allegedly veering off the path of lawfulness by arbitrarily nabbing citizens and failing to offer valid charges or explanation. It seems they won't give up their twisted habits of disdain for the rule of law.
__"_The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has careened headlong into its favorite anarchy, snatching and detaining citizens callously without regard to the proper procedures."
__"_**We saw this lawlessness in the appalling arrest and detention of Mr. Martins Vincent Otse (a.k.a. VeryDarkMan), who was only freed after a mass public ruckus, outcry, and pressure."
__"Now, the EFCC has set their sights on Hon. Muhammad Kazaure, a former Rep and an outspoken critique of the incompetent governance and failings of the Tinubu administration. Kidnapped in Kano and airlifted to Abuja, Kazaure is currently locked up, bereft of any contact, formal charges, or explanations to his kin, legal squad, or the Nigerian populace."
__"Let it be crystal clear: even if there were legitimate reasons to cuff any citizen, such action must uncompromisingly adhere to the rule of law. The EFCC is beholden to publicly disclose the reasons for any apprehension and should not incarcerate individuals indefinitely under the guise of 'investigation.' The Federal Republic of Nigeria's Constitution is categorically unequivocal in this matter: every captive must be promptly brought to trial or released."
__"By once more trampling on the fundamental rights of a Nigerian citizen, the EFCC is sinking deeper into the mire of impunity and constitutional malfeasance. Their deafening silence over Kazaure's ordeal makes plain their contempt for transparency and justice."
__"We have no option but to conclude that Kazaure's travail is a direct consequence of his fearless and unrelenting criticism of this administration. This administration's deceitfulness and audacity are staggering, for while they forge sweetheart deals with politically unscrupulous figures tarnished by corruption, they deploy the machinery of the state to harass and silence their critics."
"The Nigerian people are watching. And history will not forget."
