Recently, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) took
some journalists around its underground detention cells in Abuja to let
the public know what it looks like.
Journalists were taken round the detention facilities located at
the basement of the Idiagbon House, four storey building at the Wuse II,
Abuja headquarters of the commission. They were also shown the
interrogation room and in house clinic where detainees are first treated
in case of emergency.
Many
might be wondering what EFCC's underground cells in Abuja where
suspects are detained looks like. Here is all you need to see.
Journalist also freely interrogated some of the suspects who
described the detention facility in good condition. The acting chairman
of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, while taking the reporters on a tour of the
facility said that none of what had been shown to the newsmen were
arranged.
“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 said.
