Mrs. Precious Femi Fani-Kayode, wife of former Aviation Minister, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode has narrated her detention ordeal at a bank in Ado-Ekiti… “I’m not a politician and that account had been dormant for about five years. I only activated it last month in Port Harcourt.”
“I decided to go to Access Bank to make some withdrawals when I was detained on the instructions of the EFCC. They told me the account had been frozen and they were asked by the EFCC to arrest me on the spot. I have been operating the account since 2005 when I was a student in the university. They had earlier frozen my two bank accounts which they have not opened till today and I have been waiting for them to invite me, but up till today, they have not.”
“The balance in the account is just N200,000; so, I don’t know what their interest is. I’m a private person. I have not received any political fund; so, why are they trying to starve my family? That account has nothing to do with politics. This is dehumanising. I had to call the governor to inform him of the development.”
