Shehu Sani shuns lie detector test, wants to swear by the Quran

Former senator representing Kaduna central senatorial district, Shehu Sani has shunned a lie detector test and is now opting to swear by the Quran over allegation of extorting $24,000 from Alhaji Dauda Sani, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ASD Motor.

However, Shehu Sani is likely to undergo the polygraph test as he has already been moved to the Polygraph Clinic in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) annex in Wise 2, Abuja.

The Nation reported he said:

“I won’t take the test; I do not trust the machine. I am not sure whether or not the machine is working well.

“Instead of polygraph, give me the Holy Qur’an to swear with.”

According to a source, Shehu Sani was asked to make his resistance known in writing for record purposes.

“Following his refusal, our detectives did not force him to go through the test.

“But they asked him to write a statement on his refusal to undergo polygraph because he had earlier sworn by his grave but he has not been straightforward.” the source told The Nation.

Alhaji Sani Dauda is also expected to undergo the polygraph test with his wife today amidst pressure to withdraw the allegation against the former senator.

A source told The Nation:

“Mrs. Dauda was expected to be interrogated on Monday (yesterday) but she was slightly indisposed. The complainant got in touch with us and promised to come with his wife on Wednesday.

“So far, Dauda has not withdrawn his petition against Senator Sani because he told our team that he was sure of his facts.

“On his part, Sani said he did not extort any money from Dauda. The job of the investigators is to get to the root of transactions between the accuser and the accused. We will crack this case.”
