Ekiti Lawmaker, Afolabi Akanni, who has been in detention at the Department of State Services facilities, was released Tuesday evening. Vanguard gathered that Akanni  is now admitted at a private hospital in Abuja.

The Lawmaker who was very weak and could barely speak when Vanguard visited him at the hospital kept repeating;  “I am not well. I am sick. I am sick,” when Vanguard sought to speak with him.

He said he was treated for malaria at the DSS detention facility after he collapsed twice.

He said his release may not be unconnected with his deteriorating health, adding that he was not told why he was held.
