Femi Fani-Kayode Special Assistant to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Jude Ndukwe, has claimed that his principal slumped in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday.
In a statement Monday night, Ndukwe expressed “fears that Fani-Kayode’s life was in dire danger as long as he remained in EFCC custody or in the custody of any agency of the federal government based on discreet information available to us.
“This is apart from the fact that his health has been badly affected
since his incarceration for a whopping 67 days based on some
questionable ‘detention orders’. “This fact is well known to the EFCC as Fani-Kayode’s lawyers have
written several letters to the Commission reminding them of the
healthconditions of the former minister of aviation “Although Chief Femi Fani-Kayode was yet to complete the
recovery therapy he was undergoing after spending the initial 67
grueling days in EFCC custody wherein he was also physically attacked by
one of the Commission’s agents.
“In deference to the law and the Commission, he painfully but
willingly cut short his therapy and medical checks to attend court
proceedings. “One would have thought that these were enough to convince EFCC that
Fani-Kayode was very willing to face his persecutors in court. But
rather than be humane in their conduct, EFCC hounded him for the
umpteenth time on that fateful Friday and have since kept him in
custody. “It is therefore little wonder that based on the history of his
medical conditions which the Commission is very much aware of, Chief
Femi Fani-Kayode slumped while in detention on Saturday, 22nd of
October, 2016.
