Detained Rivers REC, Gesila Khan is ‘hypertensive and diabetic’ – Family says

The family of Resident Electoral Commissioner, in Rivers State, Gesila Khan, has raised an alarm over her arrest and harassment of their daughter by the Department of State Services.
The family released a statement in Yenagoa, Bayelsa on Tuesday, July 28, through Mr. Okubama Johnbull, saying that she was suffering from poor health, as she had hypertension and diabetes.

The statement said: “As a woman who was diagnosed of hypertension and diabetic, she was denied access to her drugs. It is a well known fact that all matters or issues concerning the past general elections across the country are presently being handled by various electoral tribunals.

“We wonder why the REC of Rivers State, Mrs. Khan was singled out for victimization and intimidated by DSS, as all issues concerning the past general elections are before competent electoral tribunals set up by laws of the country.”

Furthermore, the family prevailed on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene and call the DSS to order.
