Freedom for Sun International staff in Nigeria

Sun International said on Tuesday the company had secured the release of four employees late last night.

The staff members had been detained without charge in Nigeria by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) since Thursday 21 January.

 “Further to the release of the employees‚ the EFCC still wishes to investigate the nature of Sun International’s original investment into the Tourist Company of Nigeria (TCN) as well as TCN’s trading records and has requested that TCN provide them with information and documentation.

 “Sun International has no difficulty with this request and intends to work with TCN to collate and provide to the required information to the EFCC.”

Sun International expressed gratitude to various South African government authorities that assisted in obtaining the release of the detainees‚ in particular the SA High Commission in Nigeria.
