EX-Minister Of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode Re-Arrested By EFCC Operatives

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Friday nabbed Fani-Kayode who was in court for his trial over an alleged fraud of ‎N4.9bn. The ex-minister was re-arrested shortly after stepping out of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Just like biblical prohesy, Fani-kayode whose wife Sophia and eight month old son was also arrested and detained in a bank in Ado Ekiti but for the swift intervention of governor Ayo Fayose, has beforehand predicted his re-arrest and the plan to keep behind bars for long.

This he said while pointing out that had been granted bail by the Federal High Court in Lagos on the same issue.

In his words: “I have been reliably informed by my sources within the EFCC that they are planning to re-arrest and detain me for as long as possible once again even though I have been granted bail by the Federal High Court in Lagos.

“Fresh charges were filed against me by the EFCC at the Federal High Court in Abuja on July 7.

“The allegations border on a baseless allegation and false claim that I received N26million naira from the NSA’s office in 2014.

“These are politically-motivated charges and there is no truth in or substance to them whatsoever.”

The avowed Buhari-critic said the commission was desperate to keep him out of circulation and off the streets while adding that he had been reliably informed that the Presidency had ordered them to ensure that that is so.

He further said: “I am not scared or intimidated and I urge them to do their worse and let God judge between us.

“The more evil they do to me, the more the coals of fire will pour on their heads.

“Also the more the President will continue to fail woefully and have all manner of strange and inexplicable problems.

“Wickedness and wicked men never last. No matter what they do to me that is my consolation.

“They are bullies and cowards and they have no shame.”
