This was disclosed in a statement by Jude Ndukwe, the SA media to Fani-Kayode and made available to NAIJ.com. Fani Kayode who was the spokesperson of the Goodluck Jonathan campaign organization was officially invited by EFCC, after the anti-graft agency claimed that he had a role in the $115 million bribe reportedly dispensed by the immediate past minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison- Madueke.But in a statement made available today, May 12, the ex- minister has urged the EFCC to endeavour to carry out their functions within the ambit of the laws. The Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has again invaded the residence of the former minister of aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode The statement reads: “Earlier today, the EFCC invaded the residence of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode even when he was still in their custody. 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!” Fani-Kayode was made to present himself at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja on May 9, Monday, after uniformed agents stormed his home Abuja at the weekend.He learnt that the anti-graft agency actually has three cases of financial crime against him. His home was first raided last Friday, May 6, by EFCC operatives.
