Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has voiced his fears over the safety of Olu Agunloye, the former Minister of Power and Steel, following his remand at the Kuje correctional facility by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Agunloye faced charges of fraud on Wednesday as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned him at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Apo.
Soyinka, through his spokesperson Jahman Anikulapo, said that Agunloye’s imprisonment raises what he called “justifiable, high-level concerns for his safety”.
Drawing a parallel, Soyinka referenced the unsolved murder of Agunloye’s predecessor, Bola Ige, in his bedroom, underscoring the lingering threat in such situations.
