The family of Lagos-based lawyer Moses Odirri has appealed for his release from detention, where he has reportedly been held for three weeks.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, Odirri’s brother, Doro Odirri, expressed concern for his sibling’s health and well-being while in custody.

“Our brother has been in detention for three weeks, and we are concerned about his health,” Doro said, calling on relevant authorities to ensure his safety and well-being.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has addressed media reports regarding the circumstances of Odirri’s detention, stating that certain published claims were inaccurate.

The family has urged government authorities, civil society organisations, and the judiciary to engage constructively in ensuring that appropriate procedures are followed.
