Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, on Monday, demanded immediate release of former Minister of Aviation, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, who it said would be clocking his five weeks in the Economic and Financial Crimes and other Related Offences Commission (EFCC) cell, on Wednesday.
Fani-Kayode, who was Director of Media and Publicity of the Jonathan/Sambo Campaign organisation for the 2015 Presidential Election, was accused by EFCC of collecting campaign funds running into millions, for which the agency has obtained court order to detain him in its cell.
The group made this call in a release issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yinka Odumakin, saying it was making the demand because it heard that EFCC was planning to get another detention order to ensure that Fani-Kayode was made to remain in detention.
“Afenifere demands immediate release of Femi Fani-Kayode who will be clocking five weeks in EFCC cell on Wednesday. We are being told that EFCC is planning to get another detention order to continue his incarceration,” the statement said.
The group, while expressing concern about the continued detention of the former minister, said, “We are at a loss as to why EFCC announced to the whole world that he committed a crime by collecting campaign fund and holds him for five weeks without charging him to court.
“It is in the same country that EFCC accused one Jafaru Isa of collecting money for election and allowed him to go after a night in EFCC cell.
“Why is Fani-kayode situation different if indeed it is all about corruption and not a ploy to keep him out of circulation for his critical views, especially on the criminalities of the Fulani herdsmen,” it added.
It, therefore, demanded that Fani-Kayode be charged to court immediately or set free if there was no charge against him.
“We demand that he be charged to court immediately or set free if there is no charge against him,” the group said.

I think somebody had woken these people from slumber..

I haven't heard of a campaign without money and PDP being in power then must have enjoyed donations even secretly.

The continued trail on PDP's campaign funds without touching that of APC leaves to much to doubt about the sincerity of the corruption war.

Silencing the opposition in democracy is corruption itself.

I'm actually surprised that EFCC has the power to obtain a detention order and hold someone for over a month without charge.

ok o, dem don finally wake up

Let someone please give Afenifere the address of EFCC office so that Afenifere can storm the place and free FFK the gigolo. However, Afenifere should note that if any group of nonentities come to cause trouble in EFCC office, they will all be shot with AK-47, survivors will be re-shot with AK-49. Afenifere old thieves should also note that they are yet to return the millions of dollars that the ineffectual buffoon gave them for their votes, for this reason, very soon, I mean very very soon, Afenifere elders too will be picked up by EFCC, so they should gathering money and making contribution and doing esusu in order to return the millions jona-daft gave them.

In a 'banana republic',monkeys are gods!
....tyranny as a way of governance,can never last forever,the state actors must have a date with judgement and there ends are worst than that of their victims e.g Idi Amin of Uganda,Mobutu Seseseko of Zaire,Gaddaffi of Libya,Sani Abacha of Nigeria,Paul Pot of Cambodia,Hitler of Germany,the list is endless. I rest my case!

No comment for now

You people should stop trying to twist things around. Noone is investigating campaign funds. The only been investigated is embezzlement of FG's funds in whatever guise. If part of those funds have been cornered by PDP stalwarts for campaign purpose, how is that EFCC's business.
?

EFCC didn't arrest him because of just PDP campaign money,the said campaign money was taken from Dansuki Armsgate which was shares across the PDP stalwat .please be guided

E no go better for that Afenifere..

just keep shut! In sane climes,you gather your evidence,arrest someone and charge the court. Not the other way round. You don't arrest someone, get a kangaroo order to detain him; then start gathering evidence.

It's obvious this is WITCH HUNTING! They just want to shut the man up

I am not a fan of FFK but this is tyranny at its best!

Try him in the courts if he has done something wrong otherwise release him; that's natural justice.

naijanaso:
I SINCERELY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS GOVT. FANI KAYODE DID EXACTLY WHAT AMAECHI DID. FANI KAYODE IS IN PRISON WHILE AMAECHI IS MINISTER. OLISA METUH FUNCTIONED EXACTLY AS LAI MOHAMMED. OLISA IS IMPRISONED AND LAI MOHAMMED IS MINISTER. IS IT BECAUSE THESE OTHER PEOPLE DID THEIRS IN THE OPPOSITION PARTY? DID THEY TAKE THE MONIES BY FORCE FROM ANY BODY? THEY WERE GIVEN MONEY BY THEIR PARTY TO PERFORM CERTAIN FUNCTIONS JUST THE SAME WAY AMAECHI AND LAI MOHAMMED DID, AND YOU ARE PUTTING THEM IN PRISON. HAVE THEY INVITED AMAECHI OR LAI MOHAMMED TO DEFINE THE SOURCE OF THE MONEY THEY SPENT DURING CAMPAIGNS?

Dasuki took money meant to fight boko haram shared it to his friends who were mostly in the pdp....those ones claim they used the money for campaign and and pocketed the rest for themselves...
You don't need to understand government metuh understands very well now that a why he wants to return the money he stole,

You people want buhari to be like Jesus, you forgot all the things you did to him and his supporters while you were in power? Now you want to claim victim!

Shut up.

We predicted dictatorship, never anticipated it would be this early in Bubu's 4yr tenure.
Every vocal critic of his Holiness Buhari is presently in prison or facing charges.

It is a wa o

God help us in this country.

.

Bunch of clowns. On whose behalf are they speaking?

Instead of them to compel him to refund all the monies he collected illegally and rebuke him for that, they are is sueing rubbish order.

In fact, this group must be really nuts for this reckless statement, cause the Yorubas abhors stealing and don't support criminality.

It beats my imagination where this shameless boldness is coming from.

Rubbish!!!

How him order epp?

Who are these people self? they are definitely not representing the Yorubas. Let the corrupt face the law. Stay out of it!

Maybe the country will locate its bearing and get the direction by the time all people stand for their rights.

These people can't be totally right or wrong for their action.


They may be concerned about injustices from some quarters which really persist.

lol

Yeye dey smell.
You go soon talk who send you to pretend to be yoruba Muslim just to divide yorubas the PDP way. Yeye

HassanTewogbade:
These Christian Afenifere should shut up. We yoruba muslims want Femi to rot in jail. He is a Christian unbeliever.
If Olu falae, Rev Gbonigi and other Christians don't take time, we yoruba muslims will haul their asszes to the fulanis so that they can join FFK in chewing watery beans.
We yoruba muslims say More beans to FFK's plate! Insha Allahu!

Grow up.

If the EFCC is yet to conclude or are still gathering evidence against Fani Kayode, then why detained him indefinitely for criminal charges that is yet to be conclusive. Why deprive him of his liberty or is it a means to shut him up because he has been outspoken against the federal government.

wetin concern me

Even his odumakin too has case to answer. Both yinka and his wife have always positioned themselves as leeches, ready to suck from every administration. I am very sure he is a beneficiary of the loot being talked about. Its thieves that are always apprehensive when another thief is caught. Awon oshi
