Outrage Grows Over EFCC’s Prolonged 63-Day Detention of Engineer Achema
Public concern has surged over Engr. Stephen Achema’s continued custody by the EFCC without formal charges. He spent 49 days with the police and another 14 days with the EFCC on a remand warrant that critics say bypasses proper judicial process. Legal experts warn that holding anyone indefinitely without court appearance violates constitutional rights. Meanwhile, Achema’s medical records from two major Abuja clinics allegedly show serious health issues that have gone untreated in detention. Advocates say denying timely healthcare breaches his right to life and dignity. Questions also linger about funds seized at his arrest near a major Abuja landmark, fueling distrust in law enforcement. As founder of a foundation that has aided over 50,000 Nigerians, Achema’s absence has stalled planned youth empowerment and water projects. Observers urge the government to either charge him immediately or release him to safeguard public trust.
