EFCC Denies Violating Atiku’s Son-in-Law’s Rights

The Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has refuted claims made by businessman Abdullahi Bashir Haske, son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, that his fundamental rights were violated while in the agency's custody. Haske, founder of AA R Investment Group, alleged that his interrogation by the EFCC led to his hospitalization.

The EFCC, however, denied these allegations, stating that Haske's detention facilities meet global standards and are among the best in the world. The agency maintained that Haske was accused of criminal conspiracy and money laundering after violating the terms of his administrative bail.

The EFCC urged the public to provide information on Haske's whereabouts, as he is currently wanted for failing to honor subsequent invitations. Haske's company has previously been linked to investigations involving the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
