Helen Duru’s Story Of EFCC Brutalisation False, She Is Acting A Poor Script – EFCC – Lifestyle Nigeria

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has debunked Nollywood actress, Helen Duru as a publicity seeker working in cahoots with some blackmailers to derail the work of the commission.

Reacting to her claims at the weekend that she was assaulted by certain officers of the commission while carrying out an arrest, the commission said that her story didn’t add up as it went on to take her claims one by one.

GWG reports that Helen Duru had earlier claimed that she was bloodied by EFCC officials when they invaded her Enugu apartment

The commission in the statement titled, “False and Misleading Video in Circulation on EFCC Operations” issued by Wilson Uwujaren said:

The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,  has been drawn to an online video trending on Instagram,   from the handle of a “@Iamhelenaduru”, a self- styled actress,  purporting,  quite mischievously,  an assault  by operatives of the Commission.

Checks by the Commission, however,    flagged   Helen Aduru,    an upcoming actress,  as  a mere publicity- seeking player,  with a poorly- scripted claim that has fallen flat in the face of unassailable        facts available to the Commission.

In her script, she was quick to include five names of officers she claimed came from the Cybercrime Section of the Enugu Command of the Commission.  Characteristically,  EFCC’s  officers don’t wear name tags nor move around with bulldozer- shaped equipment to pull down security doors. 

Aduru  claimed,  rather strangely,  that she was assisted by a little boy, to a Police Station at 3:44 am but met the station shut.    It is important to note that Police Stations are not civil service ministries that “close” in the evening. Even more preposterous is the fact that she never went back,  at daybreak,  to lodge a complaint.  More poignantly untenable is the fact that her purported assault of July 21,  2022, which has not been logged nearly two months later at the Police Station is only being brought to public glare on  September 2,  2022!! Such a scene could  only stand on a  typical Nollywood fiction series.

Such claims by Aduru,  like all other stranger- than- fiction, click-baiting, sympathy-seeking ploys,  do not merit a response but for the need to avoid “silence is acquiescence” stance of mischief makers.  Deeper  checks on the matter only showed that,  certain blackmailers could be bandying some known names in the Enugu Zonal Command to settle some scores.

The Commission,  strictly guided by its  Standard Operational Procedure,  would not succumb to blackmail or any sleight of hand by  any character. The poorly- scripted video would be further analysed for more forensic details and possible legal action to dissuade those who seem to be making an industry of falsely accusing and maligning the Commission. Members of the public are enjoined to ignore Aduru’s claims.  EFCC’s officers are not assaulters or terrorists.

News Update?Osun Governorship Election Petition Tribunal Sitting Begins October 26

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal will on October 26 begin a full hearing of the petition filed by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the declaration of Senator Ademola Adeleke as governor-elect.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that the tribunal made this pronouncement after concluding the pre-hearing session on Thursday.

The tribunal was asked to dismiss the applications of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), seeking the discontinuation of the petition brought to it by Governor Oyetola.

Counsel for Oyetola and the APC, Lasun Sanusi, SAN, at the sitting of the tribunal argued that Adeleke’s, PDP’s and INEC’s reliance on a Federal Court High judgment was nothing but an abuse of court process.

Sanusi argued this while replying to separate applications of the trio, seeking the dismissal of the petition based on the already appealed Federal High Court judgment disqualifying Oyetola from contesting the election.

Citing Supreme Court decisions in the case of Jegede Vs INEC, 2021, 14NWLR, Pt 1797, page 409, the counsel said the court had ruled that the signatories to the letter conveying the nomination of a candidate were not the nominators; rather, the nomination was done by party members at the congress, hence, the judgment could not stand.

Meanwhile, the counsel for INEC, Prof. Paul Ananaba, SAN; counsel for Adeleke, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN and counsel for the PDP, Dr. Alex Izinyon, SAN, agreed that any decision the tribunal would take on the matter would have to wait until the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court decided on it.

They noted that they just decided to argue the applications to have it on record, a position which the tribunal agreed with and put on record.

Also, in other applications totalling nine by the three respondents, they asked the tribunal to strike out some paragraphs of the petition on the grounds that they were either lumped together or not related to the 2022 election.

In response to each of the applications, Sanusi said all the cases cited by the respondents were misconceived, adding that they were not applicable in the instance case.

He cited the case of INEC Vs Otti, 2016, 8NWLR, where the Supreme Court hinted that INEC was supposed to be neutral, arguing that all the processes filed before the panel have not portrayed the commission’s neutrality.

Sanusi further argued that the applications filed by the respondents were only meant to prevent the tribunal from focusing on hearing the petition on merit, asking the panel to dismiss the applications.

Subsequently, counsel for all parties in the matter agreed to begin the full hearing starting with the calling of witnesses on October 26.

In his ruling, the tribunal declared the pre-hearing session concluded and announced that the pre-hearing conference report would be presented on October 17.
