The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a statement explaining how a suspect, Desmond Nunugwo died in their custody.
Daily Post
reports that the EFCC said Nunugwo was arrested because he fraudulently
collected N91m
from a woman under the pretext of helping her secure a
high yield investment.
According to the agency’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, "Mr. Nunugwo was arrested in Utako, Abuja, at about 5.33pm on Thursday, June 9, 2016.
“His
statement was taken, where he admitted receiving the money from the
complainant, with the additional information that he transferred N30m of
the said money to Norway. But he could not explain the whereabouts of
the balance of N61m.
“The suspect was detained at about 7.30pm, in the absence of anybody to take him on bail.
“Six hours later, he suddenly complained of discomfort and was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.”
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) also arraigned an All
Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, Alhaji Adamu
Abdullahi, in Bauchi State on charges of conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretense.
