Doyin Okupe condemns EFCC for leaking his medical records

Former Senior Special Assistant to former president Goodluck Jonathan on public affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has condemned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for leaking his health status to the media, which he had revealed to the commission’s operative in confidence so as to understand his special needs.


In a statement signed today and made available to Journalists, Okupe said EFCC's decision not to seek his consent before the information was revealed to the media, was not only a breach of confidence reposed on the anti- graft agency, but designed to embarrass him as a person.

Okupe explained how he got various sums of money from the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) which has now become the subject of investigation by the EFCC.

Denying being linked to any unwholesome benefits from the NSA, he said it was imperative to explain based on media reports that he was involved in N162million and N85million fraud. Okupe who lambasted the EFCC said, “I confided in the officers of the commission about my health situation for them to understand why where and how I sleep was important to my overall well being.
