According to the source, Sani collected money from the chairman and CEO of ASD Motors, his name sake Sani Dauda, under the pretence of passing it as bribe to EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu.
Sani Dauda was a former chairman of Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited(PAN). His ASD Motors is a major car dealer in Abuja.
The exact amount could not be confirmed But some reports say it was $20,000.
“The case has been on for sometime. He was granted administrative bail and told to report weekly. But he breached the terms of the bail. Hence his arrest today”, the EFCC source said.
Shehu Sani, a human rights activist, was elected senator in 2015, under the All Progressives Congress platform. When he could not get the party’s ticket in 2019, he ran on the ticket of the Peoples Redemption Party, but lost to Uba Sani of the APC.
He has been a trenchant critic of the APC government, both in Kaduna and Abuja, since then.
They will so deal with this guy ehennn
ReplyDeleteHappy New year to him inside Efcc jail cell.
ReplyDeleteThe last paragraph explains the real reason for his arrest.
ReplyDeleteGbam.
DeleteExactly my thoughts.
DeleteThis is the handwork of that midget Elrufai but he will never break u my able senator.U will come out of this stronger.my God is with u.Elrufai leave Sen Sani alone.Your Excellency God is with u and u will overcome this.
ReplyDeleteWhen they loose elections and know that they have a pending date with justice, they become social media activists deceiving the politically naive. This is why he was very vocal forming concern for the masses... "Concern" that made him buy transistor radios as constituency project. Oshisko.
ReplyDeleteHe’s always been vocal. This is an obvious set up
DeleteLoooooool nawa
ReplyDeleteIf this is true, which I doubt it is, it would be the best news governor El Rufai has heard in the last five years!
ReplyDeleteHe would revel in it...
It can never be true.its elrufai trying to rubbish his reputation but God pass am.My able senator my God will vindictive u and shame elrufai and his cohorts.
Delete20,000 dollars to bribe EFCC? Na lie! It's a setup. He was probably sent the money for something else and the sender later claimed it was for bribe. I won't be surprised if all charges against the PAN guy is dropped once Shehu is locked up. Remember Farouk that was caught on tape collecting bribe from Ote$? Did they do anything about it till date?
DeleteJust $20,000??? $20,000?? That is what he collected as bribe? A former senator? 20,000 USD is not even up to what I pay as school fees for my son at the Florida state university.. Haaa! Criminality is truly inherent in politicians
ReplyDeleteExactly why I doubted the claim! What is $20k to a Nigerian politician let alone one as vocal as Sen. Shehu Sani who is a major critic of this administration.
DeletePersonally, I believe he has way too much to loose to let a meagre $20k ruin his reputation...
That’s how u know it’s a set up. Politicians dash their babes $20k for one night so what is that??? Na lie
DeleteCorruption everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThey finally got this man. Chai!
ReplyDeleteSee set up
ReplyDeleteGrade one set up!!! Na anti APC Dey worry dem. If he wants bribe it’s not $20k only na
