Bankole Detained In Underground Cell by slyzy(m): 7:48am On Jan 08, 2016 |
ABUJA—FORMER Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Dimeji Bankole, who is currently facing trial in two courts for
alleged fraud and loan conversion, was in a dejected mood
yesterday following his week-long detention in the not-so-
cosy EFCC custody.
An EFCC operative, who would not like to be mentioned, told
Vanguard that Bankole has obviously lost his cool after
more than seven days in custody.
He said: “The man has lost some of his ‘swag’ after all these
days in almost solitary confinement. He appears dejected
and frustrated at his condition. Everyone who is accustomed
to living lavishly would feel the same way when those
niceties are taken away, even if momentarily.”
The operative noted, however, that the former number four
man in the polity was not enjoying any preferential
treatment from the operatives detailed to guard him,
adding: “No; he is treated like any other suspect in our
custody, though we make sure that he gets access to his
lawyers and other people who matter to the case. Don’t
forget that he is being held under orders from the court.”
Those who have visited him say the former speaker is being
detained in an underground cell at the EFCC headquarters
with only a mat for him to sleep on.”
He said: “Our cells are relatively new and well-kept. Don’t
forget that they are the same cells that held other high
profile suspects including former governors, former
ministers and chief executives of banks, and I do not
remember anyone of them coming back to say we treated
them badly.”
Bankole was arrested penultimate Sunday at his Asokoro
residence after weeks of ‘hide and seek’ with operatives of
the EFCC.

All this nonsense media story... Bankole that was still In abeokuta since last year.. I can't even remember d no of times I've read dis same old story... I guess the story is always coming up because of political reasons... They should not also forget that all his court cases has been settled and he was not guilty. Why are they always soiling the guy name. Well, politics is a bad path to follow for anyone dat cherish his integrity |
