A former senator who represented Oyo Central Senatorial District in the 7th Senate, Senator Ayo Adeseun has been in custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over his alleged role in the disbursement of 2105 PDP presidential campaign fund. To this end, a group, Coalition for the Defense of Democratic Rights, Justice and Equity in Nigeria, has written an open letter to Mallam Ibrahim Magu, the EFCC chairman, over what it termed the illegal detention of Senator Ayo Adeseun at the Lagos office of the commission in the last eight days. The group stated that Senator Adeseun was only one of the signatories that took delivery of the 2105 campaign fund from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), adding that he was simply invited by the anti-graft agency to make some clarifications on a matter which, to them, was an internal affairs of the party.
