Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu fell ill on Tuesday during interrogation by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), it was learnt yesterday.

He was being grilled over his numerous assets in Nigeria, United Kingdom, United States and United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Specifically, Ekweremadu was asked to account for how he came about over 60 assets.

When it appeared that he was getting weak, the Deputy Senate President was permitted by the EFCC to seek medical attention in the hospital.



The resumption of the investigation on Ekweremadu’s assets will now be determined by his fitness and the medical report from the hospital, it was learnt.

A top EFCC source said: “We were able to highlight additional 38 assets, added to the initial 22 on which he ought to give explanation.

“The grilling started smoothly until he complained of discomfort and he was unable to continue to answer our questions. His sudden illness might have arise from high blood pressure.

“Since he needed urgent medical attention, we allowed him to go to the hospital of his choice for treatment.”

The Federal Government, through the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, had traced 22 assets to Ekweremadu.

Its just amazing dat polithiefcians dat were showing dia good health yesterday will automatically become sick if they are going to court today........abi these courts get sickness wey dey worry only polithiefcians nii??

Naajjii:

Just imagine one person own all these properties ,a government official !! While millions of people are struggling to RENT decent places to live. Chai black people!!

Metuh:

And so? What happened to owning a lot of property as a government official? Don't he have another business before becoming Deputy Senate President?


What about people who were into housing and property business before entering politics?


People like you who don't know how to do research will start crying when you see properties and businesses owned by Gov. Obiano or Okorocha who was a know billionaire before entering office.


Wetin concern black and person property? You need to find something doing bro. Nobody is the cause of your poverty.

Rotentina:
May sudden sickness fall on those who are stealing our money.
