EFCC Operatives Have Surrounded My House, Fani-Kayode Cries Out

Fani KayodeA former Minister of Aviation and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has raised the alarm over the siege laid to his residence in Abuja by armed operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The siege to the former minister’s residence came on the heels of the formal invitation extended to him by the EFCC today to appear at its Abuja headquarters on Monday, May 9.

Mr. Fani-Kayode, in a statement through his lawyers, said he would honour the invitation and cooperate with investigators.
However, shortly before 5 p.m., Fani-Kayode sent out another statement claiming the operatives were trying to keep him under house arrest throughout the weekend.

“Today the EFCC invited me to come to their office on Monday. I have their letter. I agreed to be there. Now they have surrounded my house.

“The letter of invitation was served this morning and it was dated 6th May. They said I should report on the 9th.

“Can someone please tell me why they are at my gate? They can’t even wait because they want to detain me so badly and keep me away for the weekend.

“I never refused their invitation. Why all this? I leave them to God”, he said.
