Former Kaduna central Senator,
Shehu Sani has turned down a lie detector test suggested by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission and instead opted to swear by the Quran.
It was the latest development in
the alleged extortion case involving him and ASD Motors Chairman, Sani Dauda,
who claimed to have given him $24,000 as demanded to offer as bribes to judges
and the EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu.
According to The Nation, Shehu
Sani refused to take a lie detector test when taken to a polygraph clinic at
the EFCC Wuse office, in Abuja.
“I won’t take the test; I do not
trust the machine. I am not sure whether or not the machine is working
well.Instead of polygraph, give me the Holy Qur’an to swear with, ” Sani was
quoted as saying.
It was learnt that EFCC
detectives later asked Senator Sani to “put his resistance in a statement on
oath for record purposes”.
A highly-placed source said:
“Following his refusal, our detectives did not force him to go through the
test.
“But they asked him to write a
statement on his refusal to undergo polygraph because he had earlier sworn by
his grave but he has not been straightforward.”
As there are several ways to
catch a monkey, the EFCC will be administering the Polygraph test on Sani’s
accuser and his wife on Tuesday.
According to Dauda’s petition,
Shehu Sani collected a total of $24,000 (N8.6 million), by pestering him for
the money.
