The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, acting on behalf of
the President, is planning to poison and kill Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, according to
his aide.
Part
of the statement read:
“The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) once again lived up to its
billing of being used by the current administration for the sinister purposes
of silencing the opposition under the guise of fighting corruption.
“The
re-arrest of Fani-Kayode is needless as much as it is reckless. Immediately
after he was granted bail by the courts, obviously to the disappointment of
state agents, he had been on a recovery therapy as recommended by his doctors
having suffered untold hardship in the hands of the EFCC.
“Words have filtered to us from credible sources within the
presidency and the security agencies that the ultimate aim of those who are
behind the former minister’s travails is to apply “extreme measures” on him.
“We
have also been told that in security circles, that means to have him killed
through the use of some poisonous substances that would break his health down
irreversibly and eventually kill him even months after he might have been
released so that the suspicion would not be at the doorsteps of state agents.
“If
not, why allow Nenadi Usman (former minister of State of Finance) and Director
of Finance in the PDP Campaign Organisation, Danjuma and others charged
alongside Fani-Kayode to go and only him was re-arrested in the court premises?
“Our
fears now are that nothing is beyond this government of sadists and fascists.
We call on the good people of Nigeria, democrats and lovers of this great
nation to rise and demand that no Nigerian should be persecuted or assassinated
based on his beliefs and or opinions on critical national matters. We are
watching very closely, and should anything untoward happen to FFK, Nigerians of
course know who to hold responsible even as we demand for his immediate and
unconditional release now! Thank you.”
