The EFCC is yet to release days after fulfilling the bail conditions set by the anti graft agency, Pointblanknews.com has learnt.<\/p>\n
The former aviation minister has been in the custody of the EFCC since last monday when he honored an invitation.<\/p>\n
He was quizzed on all he knows about the controversial presidential \u00a0campaign funds, which has landed Sambo Dasuki, Olisa Metuh, Nenadi Usman, Achike Udenwa and others in hot water.<\/p>\n
The EFCC then set bail.\u00a0 They asked for two sureties, who must be Directors in a Federal Ministry or agency, and have properties to their name.<\/p>\n
Sometime last week, \u00a0conditions of his bail were met, but till date Fani-Kayode who was Director , Media and Publicity in the Presidential campaign organisation is still being held
\nHis spokesman, Jude Ndukwe, in statement today decried the continued detention of his boss, five days after fulfiling bail conditions.<\/p>\n
Full text<\/em> We are appalled by this risible development but not surprised at all by it because that has been the hallmark of this current administration. Rather than work to improve on its reprehensible anti-democratic record, the Buhari-led administration has insisted on continuing in its self-engineered free nose-dive into the abyss of autocracy and the infamy of gross abuse of citizens’ rights.<\/em><\/p>\n This tactic of keeping key and vocal members of the opposition out of circulation without due regard to our laws and or harass them with charges that cannot stand the test of judicial requirements has got to stop. The sweet smelling savour of democracy will be polluted when the opposition is stifled.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The continued holding of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode in EFCC custody for this long despite meeting his bail conditions goes a long way to show that this fight is not about corruption after all but all about silencing the opposition.<\/em><\/p>\n We condemn in very strong terms these acts of intimidation and harassment and request that he be released forthwith even as we call on all well-meaning Nigerians to know who to hold responsible should anything untoward happen to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n This act of executive rascality, at a time when Nigerians are groaning more than ever before over the economic hardship inflicted on them by this administration, is needless. It will achieve nothing but will only lead to a puerile end.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The EFCC is yet to release days after fulfilling the bail conditions set by the anti graft agency, Pointblanknews.com has learnt.

\nThe dictatorial, vengeful, vindictive and scurrilous use of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by the APC-led federal government to achieve sinister purposes against vocal individuals and members of the opposition has once again played itself out in the macabre continued detention of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, 5 days after fulfilling all his bail conditions.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
