Doyin Okupe, ex-aide of Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s former president, will spend the night in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC).

Mr Okupe had on Saturday raised alarm informing the public of plans by the anti-graft agency to abduct him without an invitation or arrest warrant.

Hours after the alarm was raised, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said the officials of the EFCC had left his residence, inviting him to turn himself in.

Okupe, the Media adviser of the PDP presidential campaign council, said he was informed his crime was alleged cyber crime.

On Monday, the PDP chieftain who often criticise the istration of President Muhammadu Buhari, reported himself to the Lagos State office of the commission.

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, has said Okupe was still be detained by the EFCC as at 9PM on Monday night.

“Media Adviser to the Director General of PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, @doyinokupe detained by the EFCC,” Mr Ologbondiyan said in a tweet.

“It is a season of assault, harassment and intimidation for the of PDP,” he added.

Okupe himself itted to collecting money from Dasuki so why should he not be summoned to explain himself? PMB is even lenient. They should all be in jail with Dasuki.

He is just about to...that's not good enough. He should be in Kuje already.

Nothing to do with Dasuki they said cyber crime (Online Hate Speech) financed by pdp & atiku,using stolen money to try and destabilize the Government,The case should be transferred to the DSS immediately.

EFCC is Buhari foot soldiers to silent the opposition

EFCC is working.







GIVE YOUR SKIN A TREAT, CHECK MY SIGNATURE.

Nigeria is a cursed nation where president is a stack illiterate.

Okupe should have been locked up since 2016, considering his role during the 2015 elections.

Is EFCC now a holding cell?

We can see how lenient is PMB here with corrupt associates



.

His first night at EFCC hotel.

APC's EFCC, keep ridiculing Nigeria before the whole world. You think you are doing me, Okupe, Dakusi, Metuh, and other political victims of yours, even when the court says otherwise, you are doing yourselves.

Let the ignorant fools keep applauding you for giving Nigeria global embarrassment.

And somebody up here says Buhari is lenient.
Confirming that EFCC is Buhari and Buhari is EFCC.
This is Nigeria!

The fact that Nigerians celebrate thieves means that Nigeria as a nation will never make progress
Okupe has been arrested and detained by Efcc ,let him clear himself.

Many nairalanders tends to loose their brain whenever they have the opportunity to post on the 1st page of every thread.

He said for cyber crime. Efcc is truly one eyed security agency, they only tend to see only those in opposition. What about this govt that lied to more than 170m Nigerians and still has the guilt to tell their zombies to go and campaign for them by telling Nigerians their various achievements. Which achievement?

National assembly refused to change the laws to make EFCC independent they are all suffering because of these.
