Ex-Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has broken his silence on his wife and son detention at a bank in Ado-Ekiti by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)… “This government is sick and cowardly and so is the EFCC. If you have a problem with me, face me and leave my family alone.”
“My wife travelled to Ado Ekiti to see my friend and brother, Governor Fayose, and his family. They were on their way out of town when they went to Access Bank in Ado Ekiti to get some money. They were illegally detained, brutalised and put under arrest on the orders of the EFCC at a bank in Ado Ekiti.”
“She has never had any business with me; she has never been formally invited by the EFCC or asked any questions about her transactions and neither has it written to her on any issue even though it is always sending letters to my house and sending people there. If Buhari wants to deal with me, why doesn’t he face me like a man instead of trying to harm and hurt my eight-month-old son and wife.”
“Had it not been for the intervention of Governor Ayo Fayose, they would have taken them away and subjected them to all manner of harm and indignity simply because she is married to me. This is Buhari’s Nigeria and we will resist his wickedness and tyranny.”
“They have no right to do this. If they want to see my wife, all they need to do is to invite her. We have nothing to fear. They do not need to be so primitive and barbaric to people. In an attempt to starve and harass me and my family, all my accounts and wife’s accounts have been frozen. Now, they are resorting to arresting people’s wives and children for no just cause.”
