Olu Omo Of Ogun,Gbenga Daniel, On"Hunger Strike" To Protest Detention Conditions

By SaharaReporters, New York




Mr. Justin Olugbenga Daniel, the former Governor of Ogun State who was taken into custody in Abuja by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) five days ago, has gone on hunger strike, his lawyers claimed.

A statement issued today by Yemi Oke, counsel to Mr. Daniel, said the former governor was being detained at the EFCC facility “under unbearable conditions” and subjected to “gruesome interrogations” by operatives of the commission.

“Under normal circumstances, Otunba Daniel should have been arraigned in court since he has spent more than the required period specified by law in detention,” the statement said.  “But at the time of issuing this statement, he has not been arraigned in court and no charge has been preferred against him. Yet he is being detained and his fundamental human rights curtailed for no just cause. Only his wife is allowed access to him.”




Mr. Daniel’s lawyers, the statement said, this morning served the EFCC with court processes seeking to enforce the detainee’s fundamental human rights, but that has been ignored by the agency.  As a result of the ‘worsening’ condition under which he is being held, as well as the curtailment of his fundamental rights, the former governor has now declined food and medication.

“It is noteworthy to point out that one of Otunba Daniel’s interrogators, in an unguarded moment, blurted out that the case against him would not have gotten to this level if he had begged a former president of the country whom he said was behind Otunba Daniel’s travails,” the statement said.  “We therefore call on all men and women of goodwill to prevail on the EFCC to allow the rule of law to prevail by either releasing the former governor or charge him to court. These are the only two options known to law.”

The former governor and former President Olusegun Obasanjo had a major public disagreement within the People’s Democratic Party ahead of the April 2011 elections, and Obasanjo is known to be one of the signatories of the EFCC petition against Mr. Daniel.

Hunger strike is not meant for every body. Im wan die. lol

Thats what you get when you mess with the vengeful OBJ. Pele o, Otunba.

i wish him speedy journey to meet his great grand fathers.

Relax101:

Hunger strike is not meant for every body. Im wan die. lol

His own type of hunger strike means drinking only cornflakes, champaigne and tea.

Na true you tok.lol

I will not be surprised if the hunger strike was the instruction given to him by his black magic consultant. This dude is always desperate with style, he will do anything to get over or to steal money.

Black Magic Consultant: "Hunger strike for 3 days and everybody will forget your crime"

omo araiye! i thought he was otunba - when did he suddenly become 'mr'?

The Lawyer Na serious olodo, he thought they will get any pity from naija public, my egba blood no go gree me pity the thief. The only thing gbenga will miss in efcc cell is the regular dosage of coke. I dont see this Daniel leaving efcc den without scratches, so e beta start dey chop to get strength to cry when his shame reaches its zenith

OGiDi Ole OGD!!!

Hunger strike? Well, at least he's doing something right. Dude needs to lose his big belly

What are they still waiting 4, B4 they sentence dis man 2 life imprisonment, Ennnh what!! A whole higher Assasin like dis Man is puting on agbada even in EFCC's custody, Nigeria u tire me 0 0, I taught He would be dead by now, But all I knw is that He can't escape the wrought of God,

food for thought - your best friend today may turn to be your worst enemy tomorrow

case study: obj and ogd

“It is noteworthy to point out that one of Otunba Daniel’s interrogators, in an unguarded moment, blurted out that the case against him would not have gotten to this level if he had begged a former president of the country whom he said was behind Otunba Daniel’s travails,”

given the current travails of the NationNewspapers, this should hardly be surprising

Good!
Burns off excess fat. . . .

Is that OBJ with him in that pix?what are they doing?see love o.
He's made a wise choice,he needs to loose weight but he shouldn't strike for more than a month o,he still needs energy to cry when they finally decide to drill him.

must everything be in the news? the man is fasting!

Once he is hungry, he will eat.

Hunger strike?that's the unlawfully detained man's last resort to attract public attention and support to be freed.OGD should tell us the basis for his wanting to starve himself to death.As far as we are concerned he has questions to answer and until he has satisfactorily convinced the EFCC that he is innocent contrary to all charges against him he will continue to be in custody.so he had better saved himself all the strength he needs to answer for his defense,unless he wants to commit suicide prior to his sentencing.

if i can be in his type of hunger , with embezzled billions of Naira in my account , BRING IT ON

There are many people in our prisons to "awaiting trial". This lawyers will never talk about them, now that they have filled their accounts with  mr. gbenga's 'stolen' money, they know what being "detained beyound 48 hours" mean. Rubish! make him no eat nau, how e take change price of gari 4 market?

Gbenga Daniel was a disgrace to the youths of this nation, to the Egba indigenes; even though most of them are yet to realise.
8 years of hope for development, ended up looting and selling the assets of the state to himself.
None the less, his trial shouldn't be delayed, if they really have something on him.

Gbenga is only unlucky to have hit an Iroko tree.  The other govs have since appeared in court and like the usual thing, after all the noise and whateva, they will walk the streets free again, enjoying their loots.  I dont take efcc serious.  How many ex-govs previously indicted are in prison today?  Have u guys forgotten so soon? Na today?

E beta eat o. Coz na die he go jst die!

Hunger strike, well I hope this is just the start. He is being pursued for N52B shey? Let him get ready to swallow enough spit oh.

WHO FCUKIN CARES.*spittin out*e shd try ds

All is happening, we may say OBJ is behind it but not him. It is Allah because no one will go freely except he does good. If u are not purnish on earth u'll surely b purnish hereafter. D treat has neva come for OGD, When d time comes, . . .
. .

wait a minute. Is dis Obj feeding gbenga daniel? Wonders shall never end. Maybe na the initiation ritual to the grand ogboni confraternity picture be dis. This is where obj initiated daniel.They re both cultists. Birds of a feather. Anyways if he (daniel) wants to go on indefinite fasting (though not of God) he shld at least rmbr to buy his casket now to avoid matters dat touch. Foolish man. Idiot. Thief.

i taught he is dead

M M M:

i taught he is dead

Hunger strike dey kill person?

M M M:

i taught he is dead

taught or thought?

He should keep it up; very nice of him. At least, he should 've a feel of what his actions and inaction brought on several others.
