WHY SUSPECTS BEG JUDGES TO REMAND THEM IN EFCC CELLS

A certain kind of drama almost always plays out when EFCC arraigns an accused person in court. The defence counsel would immediately apply for court bail.

However, if the court temporarily denies the application, the counsel would again rise in open court and passionately plead with the trial judge to allow his client remain in EFCC holding facility, pending the determination of bail, or, where his application was granted, pending fulfilment of bail conditions.

Notwithstanding this, some people with ulterior motives have continuously sponsored false stories likening detention in EFCC facilities to being held in dungeons where torture and other forms of human rights abuses are commonplace.

The Commission however prides itself as meeting the highest possible professional standards in all its operations. Such unprofessional practices are not only outlawed in EFCC, they are regarded as criminal and anyone who engages in them, risks severe sanctions, including administrative reprimand and criminal prosecution.

EFCC has arguably, the best holding facilities of all law enforcement and security agencies in Nigeria. 

To prove this to sceptics, Commission on Thursday, 25th August, 2016, threw its facilities in Abuja, open for inspection by journalists from all media persuasions, including those who had unwittingly helped to propagate false notions about detention in the EFCC.

The media men saw things firsthand and freely interacted and conducted interview with suspects of their own choosing.  They also toured the clinic attached to the cells, fully manned and run 24 hours round-the-clock by two qualified medical doctors, nurses and other health professionals.

Among the other medical and diagnostic facilities, is a dedicated ambulance. The journalists also saw the meals served the suspects, which are sourced from the EFCC Staff Canteen. Those who prefer relatives to bring their meals from home, are so obliged.  At the end of the tour, one reporter described the detention facilities as ‘A guest house for the big boys’.

Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, however threw a challenge to the reporters: "If anyone of you think all these have been arranged, you are welcome to come at anytime you chose, to spend time with us and see for yourself (you can even spend some days in the cell); see how EFCC carries out investigation, arrest, interrogation and if you want, be detained as long as you say, in any of our facilities across the country.  You don't need to give us prior notice of your coming.  You can even arrange it as a group of reporters if you don't want to come alone."  He must be truly confident in EFCC's detention facilities.

The over 30 journalists drawn from print, electronic and online platforms, said they would seriously consider the offer.

So, this is where FFK spent all those weeks??

naija, I de hail. una no de fail oh.

That guy wan buy second hand pant for him girl? Oya make I carry go the place I sabi.

Looks impressive, and they even cook for them. Cell for the Rich.

Unlike the police cell here in elekahia Port Hacourt, where cell mates feed on "Cell Show" (Money gotten from new cell mates).

If you enter the cell, first question you're asked is "where Ya cell Show". You will get the beating of your life if you no drop something.

Don't ask me how i got to know

I'm coming back... soonest

Everythin about naija is mediocre. Even the things we take pride in are mediocre!!

No wonder most accused politicians claim illness after arrest, the hospital bed is better.

No matter how cozy, deprivation of freedom is very heart rending and wrenching. I don't even pray a visit or invitation for my enemy, freedom is priceless
