Again, EFCC searches Fani-Kayode’s residence

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday invaded the Abuja residence of a former Minister of Aviation and spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.
This was contained in a statement by the media aide of the former minister, Jude Ndukwe.
Fani-Kayode has been in the custody of the EFCC since Monday.
He was arrested for collecting N840 million from a slush fund provided by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The sum provided by Alison-Madueke was put at $115 million, which then was about N23.3 billion.
Ndukwe, in a statement on Thursday, said: “What miffed us most was their mode of operation which was forceful, provocative and dangerous as they wielded their guns with needless threats. The worst is that the invasion was without a warrant as they forced their way in, and after terrifying all the staff at home including the infant, they whisked the laundry man away even though he was later released.
“This is the fourth time the EFCC operatives would be invading Chief Fani-Kayode’s residence in just under a week. We condemn this act of executive lawlessness, harassment and intimidation. Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has served this country even at the highest levels and he deserves some courtesy.
“We call on the EFCC to endeavour to carry out their functions within the ambit of our laws and stop brazenly  betraying the fact that Chief Fani-Kayode is under persecution.
“The world is watching!”
