EFCC: Anyim yet to meet bail terms, faces fresh hurdles

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was still holding on to a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim , as at press time yesterday.

Ayim, who was yet to meet the bail conditions as at yesterday, is facing fresh hurdles in connection with the ongoing probe of some huge contracts in the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) and the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).

His lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome(SAN) , yesterday faulted the position of the EFCC and insisted that the ex-SGF had met all the conditions for his freedom.

He said Anyim was being compelled, under duress and undue influence, to sign all manner of “self-incriminating documents.”
