EFCC LAYS SIEGE ON RESIDENCE OF FORMER SOKOTO GOVERNOR ATTAHIRU BAFARAWA

Former governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, yesterday described the siege on his residence in Abuja by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as political intimidation and persecution. Speaking through his media aide, Malam Yusuf Dingyadi, the former governor linked his ordeal to his political alliance with former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki.
“No amount of intimidation or persecution by any of the federal government security agencies can stop former governor Bafarawa from his resolve to support and sympathise with any person he wishes to align with,” Dingyadi stated.
“If EFCC has anything against Bafarawa let them present it to the court of law instead of becoming a tool of victimisation in order to deter him from his constitutional role of free association and expression,” the aide added.
