The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has arrested Mr. Azibaola Robert, a cousin of former President Goodluck Jonathan in a desperate partisan attempt to implicate the immediate past president in graft.

Robert, who is the managing director and Kakatar Engineering Limited was arrested on March 17, 2016 along with his wife and executive director when they honoured an invitation by the EFCC who are acting on the orders of President Muhammadu Buhari. Since their arrest, Robert has his wife have been denied access to their lawyer and their family.

According to a source familiar with the situation, as Robert arrived the EFCC office, he was immediately taken into detention. He was not interrogated nor was he told why he was being held by the anti-graft commission.

“He [Robert] is being held illegally and in solitary confinement by the EFCC,” our family source, who did not wish to be named told The Trent. “He has not been charged for any crime. They have denied him access to his lawyer. This is two weeks that he had been held for no reason. This is a calculated attempt to break him with the hope of implicating Dr. Jonathan.”
