Prince Uche Secondus, the Deputy National Chairman of Peoples Democratic
Party, on Saturday advised the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on what
he described as its rigorous 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.”
