over three hours with her eight months old baby, Aragorn in Access
Bank, Ajilosun Branch, Ado Ekiti today.
Fani-Kayode's wife was at the bank to withdraw money from her personal
account, which has about N200,000.
She was said to have been detained in the bank on the order of the EFCC!
It took the intervention of the Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele
Fayose, who was said to have stormed the bank to free the woman while
the EFCC officials that would have whisked her away were still being
expected.
The visibly angry governor drove himself to the bank.
His Spokesperson, Lere Olayinka posted on his Facebook Timeline that
"Even when her eight months old baby was crying for food and water,
she was held captive!"
In his reaction, Fani-Kayode said;
"This govt 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 doesnt he face me like a man
obstead of trying to harm and hurt my 8 month old son and wife.
"Had it not been for the intervention of Governor Ayo Fayose they
would have been taken them away and subjected them to all manner of
harm and indignities simply because she is married to me.
"This was an account that has 200,000 naira in it and that has never
had more than 500,000.
"She has operated it since 2005 and she stopped using it in 2013. The
account has no connection with me and I did not know it existed till
today.
"In an attempt to starve and harass me and my family all my accounts
and wifes accounts have been frozen.
"Now they are resorting to arresting peoples wives and children for no
just cause.
"I thank God for Gov. Fayose and the people of Ado Ekiti who stormed
the bank and freed my wife from this illegal detention and attempt to
kidnap them.
"Had it not been for the governors intervention and prescence the bank
would have been burnt down by the crowd. My family have since left
Ekiti state.
"This is Buhari's Nigeria and we will resist his wickedness and tyranny.
"We intend to sue the bank and to sue the EFCC for this illegal and
wicked action. They have no right to do this.
"If they want to see my wife all they need to do is to invite her. We
have nothing to fear. They do not need to be so primitive and barbaric
to people."
Here is the picture of Fani-Kayode's wife with her 8 MONTHS old baby
after the were rescued by Governor Fayose.
