After being arrested on Sunday at his Abuja home by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Commission has now given conditions for the release of former Osun State Deputy Governor, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
Spokesman for the Peoples' Democratic Party, PDP, Diran Odeyemi, in a statement released on Monday, explained that after interrogating him for several hours, Omisore was handed a letter by EFCC operatives, asking him to produce two serving Directors in any of the Federal Ministries or Agencies with landed property in quarters of Maitama or Asokoro area of Abuja, while the sureties must submit the original C of O of the said landed properties to the Commission.
Diran who however frowned at the conditions said they will be approaching the court.
The PDP Spokesman said: "We know too well of a standing instructions to serving civil servants not to stand as sureties in any matter and wonder why EFCC is giving a condition they have already blocked.
"We will approach the court to seek Sen Omisore's release and wonder why EFCC has turned itself to an agent of persecution instead of prosecution."
