Yakubu said while no formal charges had been brought against him, he was being denied an urgently-needed medical attention.
Recall that Andrew Yakubu, a former GMD of the NNPC, is being detained by the EFCC following an alleged recovery of over $9.7million and £74,000 cash from a property linked to him.
In a statement by his lawyer, Ahmed Raji, SAN, in Abuja, Sunday, the ex-NNPC boss noted that “within this time also, our client has been denied access to adequate medical attention which he desperately needs.”
Reacting to the widespread media reports alleging that his client was currently facing charges for under-declaration of assets and illegal transactions, the lawyer stated that “within this time, no formal charges has been brought against our client by the EFCC or any other government establishment for any offence whatsoever as widely spread in these media reports.”
Raji said, “In view of the foregoing facts, our client has sought an enforcement of his fundamental human rights before the Federal High Court, Abuja in an action constituted as FHC/ABJ/CS/126/17 between Engineer Andrew Yakubu vs EFCC & Anor.
“Our Client has been detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for more than a month since he voluntarily presented himself to them at their invitation and has fully cooperated with investigations.”
While stating that it had become necessary to set the records straight, Raji maintained his client’s “insistence on his innocence of any perceived offence and his determination to clear his name in due course.”
