Bayelsa State Ex-Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha

For receiving Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar in violation of security rules, Former Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, was deported from Dubai, where he was taken for medical treatment a few weeks ago.

Sources hinted Pointblanknews.com that eagle-eyed EFCC operatives were suspicious that Abubakar might be arranging the escape of the former governor from the hospital in Dubai.

Alamieyeseigha was flown to Dubai for proper medical treatment after his health deteriorated at the EFCC detention following multiple surgeries he undertook when he traveled to Germany in 2005.

Alamieyeseigha had undergone only one stage of his surgery when he was ejected from the hospital in Dubai by some operatives of the EFCC, who accompanied him on the trip.

The EFCC secretly brought Alamieyeseigha to Nigeria and immediately detained him at the Lagos office.

An EFCC source said, “Alamieyeseigha is around and unruffled when I saw him.

“In fact, we may arraign him in court on Thursday.”

The Media Consultant to the former Vice-President confirmed that Abubakar visited Alamieyeseigha in a Dubai hospital.

He said, “If somebody is ill in a hospital and he is taken out of the country, what is wrong in visiting that person? Alamieyeseigha, I understand, has been visited by so many people. I won’t deny that the ex-VP visited him.

“Whether anybody likes it or not, that man is a leader in his community and in this country.

“Abubakar also visits so many other people. What’s wrong in the ex-VP visiting Alamieyeseigha?”

Alamieyeseigha is standing trial for a 40-count charge of money laundering, illegal acquisition of properties and false declaration of assets.
