Obono-Obla not in illegal detention –ICPC

Obla, in detention arbitrarily. It said due process was followed before and after his arrest.

The statement said, “The attention of the commission has been called to a press statement issued on social media and signed by one F. Baba Isah, claiming to be representing other unnamed counsel for Chief Okoi Obono-Obla . “The commission needs to put it on record that before his arrest, Obono-Obla had been declared wanted and the relevant law enforcement agencies informed to arrest him if found. The March 20, 2020 when he was eventually arrested by the commission was a Friday and none of his lawyers came for him to have access as alleged in the press statement. Access to him would definitely have been granted if any lawyer had come on that day.

“Since the arrest, the commission has allowed daily access to Obono-Obla by his wife and family members, who bring him food. From March 23, 2020, his lawyers, including a respectable Senior Advocate of Nigeria, have also had unencumbered access to him. Furthermore, he received a visit from an honourable member of the House of Representatives.

At times if i see this kind of head line i shake my head. The same man that was running his mouth like running tap is now caged. Power is in transit! Power and political position is like standing fan. It changes position at will!

He hasn’t seen anything yet
