His family yesterday raised the alarm that his health was failing. The family alleged that the anti-graft agency had denied Dudafa access to proper medical attention. The family raised the alarm six days after a national daily published that the former presidential aide had been released.
Speaking for the first since the arrest of the former presidential aide who was Dr Goodluck Jonathan’s special assistant on domestic matters in April this year, spokesman for the family, Engineer Thomas Akpoebi alleged that family members and the personal physician of the detained Bayelsa born politician have no access to him.
In a statement issued yesterday, Akpoebi said Dudafa ‘s health began to deteriorate about two weeks ago just as he debunked a national daily’s report that EFCC had released Dudafa.
‘’We members of the Dudafa family are frightened at the level of deliberate neglect and abandonment Dr Waripamowei Dudafa has been subjected in the EFCC custody since his incarceration about 50 days ago.
‘’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.
‘’We are particularly disturbed that the EFCC told a national daily on Wednesday last week that Dudafa had been released. This is far from the truth and an attempt to mislead the public.
