EFCC’s bail conditions aiding corruption – Secondus

Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja

The Deputy National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus, on Saturday cautioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on what he described as its stringent administrative bail conditions.


He said the conditions help to promote corrupt practices in the name of fighting corruption.

Secondus, who said such conditions would not help the anti corruption war of the present administration, also explained that he did not collect 23 exotic cars from Mr. Jide Omokore, as alleged by the EFCC.

The immediate past acting National Chairman of PDP, stated this in a statement titled “keeping records straight.”

He added that there was no truth in the allegations that he collected 23 exotic cars purchased from proceeds of oil swap.

Describing the allegation against him as baseless, the Secondus explained that he only received two cars and buses as gift from his friend staggered between 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

It will be recalled that Secondus was granted administrative bail on Wednesday night, after spending eight days in EFCC detention over allegation that he collected 23 cars from Omokore.

Secondus also described his arrest and detention by the EFCC ‎as part of political intimidation by the All Progressives Congress against the opposition political parties.

Secondus frowned at his detention by the EFCC, which he blamed on what he termed “political intimidation and harassment of political opponents.”
