Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has warned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over what he described as its stringent administrative bail conditions, lamenting that 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 the PDP, who stated this on Saturday in a statement titled “keeping records straight,” debunked speculations that he collected 23 exotic cars purchased from proceeds of oil swap.
It would be recalled that Secondus was granted administrative bail on Wednesday night, after spending eight days in EFCC custody over allegation that he collected 23 cars from Omokore.
Describing the allegation against him as baseless, the PDP Deputy National Chairman explained that he only received two cars and buses as gift from his friend staggered between 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Secondus also described his arrest and detention by the EFCC as part of political intimidation by the All Progressives Congress, APC, against the opposition political parties.
The opposition party official faulted his detention by the anti-graft agency, which he blamed on what he called “political intimidation and harassment of political opponents.”
