The Deputy Director-General (Admin) of the Atiku Campaign Organization, Barr. Tanimu Turaki SAN, has been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).<\/p>\n

Its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, said Turaki\u2019s arrest and detention is part of the grand plot by the Buhari presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to use state apparatus of power to intimidate PDP leaders and scuttle PDP\u2019s determination to reclaim its February 23, 2019 Presidential election victory in court.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cSince the people\u2019s candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the PDP expressed our unwavering determination to reclaim our victory at the tribunal, being armed with overwhelming evidence, our leaders have been subjected to escalated harassments, constant threats, blackmails, cajoling and contrivances by the APC to drop our legal option.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is instructive to state that Tanimu Turaki was arrested and detained upon invitation by the EFCC to endorse a bail document for the Finance Director of Atiku Abubakar\u2019s company, Babalele Abdullahi, who was arrested earlier by the commission over flimsy allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n
