My Detention Is Politically Motivated – Sani

A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District in National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, has described his detention over bribery allegation as politically motivated.

 Sani was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFFC), for alleged extortion of $20,000 from owner of ASD Motors, Sani Dauda.

But Sani in his reaction said it was an attempt to smear his reputation and silence him over his vocal position on some national issues which will fail.

He added that he would not be silent and that the allegations were aimed at smearing his name and justifying his persecution.

He said “The allegations of ‘extortion’ against me are baseless, fact-less, unfounded, hollow and unsubstantial.

“It is a scripted stream of mischievous concoctions and utter fabrications using a puppet state agent; all aimed at splashing faeces and mud on me.

“The extortion allegation is nothing but a wholesale falsehood, packaged in a phantom anti-graft facade to taint, stain and mute me. That shall never happen if I am alive.

“I have made my statement and provided all my facts against their package of lies and I demand the EFCC to make public all the sheets of our statements and supporting documents for the world to see.

“My detention is unfair, unjust, prearranged and politically motivated.”
