Vanguard had earlier reported that Anani’s counsel got a message that he is dead.
However, the spokesperson of the Nigerian Prison Service, Francis Enobore, told PREMIUM TIMES in a telephone interview that the suspect is not dead.
“The rumour is not true, ” Mr Enobore said. “I have just spoken with the prison service command in Lagos and they said they still have him.”
The spokesperson explained the reason the suspect could not be shown to journalists on Wednesday evening after the rumourspread.
”You know they have closed by this time, ” he said. “The officer that spoke with me told me that if not because the prison has closed, he would have brought him out so he does a video call with me.”
