Fani-Kayode in hot exchange with church of Satan on Twitter

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Monday got involved in a hilarious hot exchange on social media platform, Twitter, with The Church of Satan which has since gone viral and sent tongues wagging.

Fani-Kayode took to his official Twitter handle to slam a former New York City prosecutor, Linda Fairsteins, who led the prosecution of the Central Park Five case, wherein five teenagers, four African-American and one Hispanic, were wrongfully convicted for the 1989 rape and assault in Central Park of a white female jogger.

In the exchange between both parties, FFK described Fairstein as a racist and a member of the Church of Satan.

He wrote, “Former NYPD cop, Linda Fairstein, is a racist, witch and a member of the Church of Satan. She should be prosecuted and burnt at the stake with her books. She deserves the death penalty for what she did to those five boys #Central Park 5 #Cancel Linda Farstein.”

Replying FFK’s tweet, the Church of Satan on the same platform said Farstein was not its member when it tweeted thus; “She has nothing to do with us. Please leave us out of it.”

However, FFK responded again through his handle @RealFFK saying, “Get thee behind me satan!”

The ‘church’ replied, “That doesn’t actually work. We are right here in front of you telling you that you are making false, unfounded accusations and asking you nicely to please leave us out of this as it has nothing to do with us.”
@RealFFK said, “In Jesus name I bind you and send you to the desert places.The devil is a liar:he was a liar and murderer from the start and the father of lies.

“You claim she is not ur member and u expect me to believe u. Make your list of members public and prove me wrong. Stop disowning ur own!”

Reports say recent Netflix series titled, ‘When They See Us’ brought the case back to the limelight which saw five convictions vacated in 2002 after Matias Reyes, a convicted serial rapist and murderer confessed to having been the sole perpetrator of the crime, and DNA testing showed he was the sole contributor of the DNA of the semen on the victim.
