FFK: Buhari, don’t harm my son, face me like a man

Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation, has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s government as being sick and cowardly and asked him not to harm his son but face him as a man.

He was reacting to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) detention of his wife, Mrs Precious Fani-Kayode and eight-old month baby on Monday in Ado Ekiti.

Precious, who was a guest of Governor Ayodele Fayose, is said to have gone to an Access Bank branch in Ado Ekiti around 3p.m. for transactions when she was detained by officials of the bank on the instruction of the EFCC.

The spokesman of the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), described the act as illegal. He said his family would have been arrested and “subjected to all manner of harm” if not for the intervention of Ayo Fayose.

Fani-Kayode who stated this in a statement on Monday evening, therefore, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to deal with him rather than “harm and hurt” his wife and eight-month-old son.

“This government is sick and cowardly and so are the EFCC. If you have a problem with me, face me and leave my family alone. My wife travelled to Ado Ekiti to see my friend and brother Governor Fayose and his family.

“They were on their way out of town when they went to Access Bank in Ado Ekiti to get some money. When they got there, my 8-month-old son Aragorn and wife Precious Chikwendu were illegally detained, brutalised and put under arrest on the orders of the EFCC at a bank in Ado Ekiti today.

“She has never had any business with me, she has never been formally invited by the EFCC or asked any questions about her transactions and neither have they written to her on any issue even though they are always sending letters to my house and sending people there.

“If Buhari wants to deal with me why doesn’t he face me like a man instead of trying to harm and hurt my 8-month-old son and wife.”

He therefore vowed to sue the bank and the anti-graft agency for the “illegal and wicked action”.

    why would a child of 8months be detented along with the mother……based on something they probably are not involved in. where is the respect for humanity. FFK needs to sue the hell out of them.

      madam it is “detained”not detented. lol. do you know the amount of money FFK would have wired into his wife and that boy’s bank account? EFCC should investigates deeply into his wife’s account. though it was even a false story because EFCC asserted they never detained them. am sure it is game plan between FFK and Fayose so they can have something to say again as both of them are like constituting political nuisance

    I even want EFCC to detain his own entire family if possible. FFK is so corrupt.

    Can FFK himself fight Buhari like a man? If he’s pained for what EFCC did to his wife and his newborn, he should go to aso villa or travel to Germany to question Buhari instead of making mouth in the dailies https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6382124552198f78bd952dc63dd0ed77b447ae4b77f70952af28270371cf151f.jpg
