The family of former
President Goodluck
Jonathan’s aide, Dr
Waripamowei Dudafa, on
Monday raised the alarm
over the failing health
condition of their son. The
former presidential aide is
currently being detained in
the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission’s (EFCC)
cell.
The family also alleged that
the anti-graft agency had
denied Dudafa access to
proper medical attention.
Speaking for the first since
the arrest of the former
special assistant on domestic
matters to Dr. Jonathan in
April this year, the
spokesman for the family, Mr.
Thomas Akpoebi, alleged that
family members and the
personal physician of the
detained Bayelsa State-born
politician had been
prevented from seeing him
since he was arrested.
He said Dudafa’s health
began to deteriorate about
two weeks ago, just as he
debunked a national daily’s
report that the EFCC had
released him.
”We members of the Dudafa
family are frightened at the
level of deliberate neglect
and abandonment of Dr
Waripamowei Dudafa since
his incarceration about 50
days ago’’, the spokesman
added.
”This is the first time we are
constrained to say something
to the world since the arrest
and detention of our brother;
and this is deliberate in
order for the law to take its
full circle, despite the media
trial that has been
orchestrated against him.
”We are particularly
disturbed that the EFCC told
a national daily last week
that Dudafa had been
released.
