FFK Femi Fani Kayode Detained At EFCC Underground Cell In Abuja Over 3 Fraud Cases
May 10, 2016 – FFK Femi Fani Kayode Detained At EFCC Underground Cell In Abuja Over 3 Fraud, Financial Crime Cases, Questioning Begins Tomorrow
If Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign manager, Chief Femi Fani Kayode knew that the EFCC has three fraud cases against him, he would have hired more lawyers.
According to sources at the Anti corruption office, he arrived yesterday in the company of two legal advisers and after waiting for 2 hours, a Director at the agency office in Abuja called him in.
His two legal advisers were allowed to stay with him.
FFK was said to be very confident in the investigation room until the agency told him he has two more financial crime cases to answer to .
After over 7 hours of interrogation, he was granted administrative bail on the first case.
He was detained at the underground cell of the agency around 8:45pm last night.
A source at the agency said EFCC will begin questioning Mr. Fani-Kayode on Tuesday concerning the second and third set of allegations against him.
His detention was confirmed by PDP New Media Director, Adeyanju Deji on Twitter yesterday.

Buhari is a threat to democracy as he is making concerted efforts to jail all his vocal critics. This is just how NOT to build a nation.

@ Jasper what do you mean by “this is not how to build a nation”? are you saying that people like Fani Kayode should be left alone with nation’s money that he fraudulently kept in his possession while some people are suffering for his loot. This is the money that supposed to be used to build our economy and job creation especially for our jobless youths who are roaming the street. My own democracy means transparency and accountability. My own democracy means that Fani Kayode must explain how he got that money in his possession because that money exceeded his earning 10 times. You see brother jasper, the reason why we are in this mess in this Country is because of people like you who always defend rogues like Fani Kayode in the name of being a critic to the government and ignore the most important part of our democracy. Genuine critics are not politicians and they always stay away from anything that will damage their integrity. It is high time for all Nigerians to start being conscious of accountability as this will help straightening our democracy and enable our leaders to start doing something right. Forget about political witch-hunt, did he commits the crime? if the answer is yes, then he deserves that humiliation and this is the reasons why we have court system. If the EFCC never had its evidence against this guy, he would not be arrested. This is how we build up a nation for example, when some people try to destroy a nation, some will try to rebuild it. Remember before president Clinton came on board in early 90’s, American economy was going bad under the watch of former president Bush senior. Clinton was the one who jumpstarted back the economy. In as much we cannot compare our democracy with American democracy, let the present government continue on this trend to hold those people who are responsible for our collapsed economy account for it.

PMB is using the opportunity he has now on seat to get back at those he hates. E.g Nnamdi, GEJ, Saraki, etc. My question is, what have they done with the money recovered so far? Is it for war against Boko Haram that has refused to end or for his constant travels to different countries. The end of his tenure shall justify the means! Time shall tell.

Why are u people deliberately ignoring the truth? The question is, is he guilty of the allegations or not? Did he share out of the loot? Let’s stop being sentimental!!! Fact is, they can’t catch or try all of them at the same time!!! Do u know how much money that has been recovered from these rogue politicians? Did u hear how much your Dezieani is pleading to return? If they didn’t steal the money, why do they want to return it????? If for anything, am glad this government is doing it differently. NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY!!!

Mr.Femi Fani Kayode and other crooks, criminals and looters deserve to remain in that underground prison for looting our national treasure to bankruptcy within six years of disastrous Badluck Jonathan administration. I have no sympathy or pity for any looter regardless of his or her tribe, name, religion, status, and language because they are the reasons why millions of our people are struggling and living in abject poverty. Those criminals have stolen billions of dollars for their own personal use and are enjoyment their blood money while over 170 millions Nigerians are living in total darkness due power outrage; our hospitals have no modern equipment and are not well funded but the looters like FFK travel abroad to get first class medical care. They have destroyed our education while they send their own children abroad for a better education in the United States, UK, Canada, and Europe. Our roads, bridges, and other infrastructures are in terrible shapes while these crooks buy houses, businesses, and mansions abroad with our stolen money. Only a fool, ignorant, unpatriotic and an heartless individual will pity these idiots for ripping the fruits of their evil seeds of corruption, mismanagement, embezzlement, and bad governance that have rendered our nation unproductive, useless, and shattered. I want to commend the EFCC for working every hard to recover some of the looted funds from Jonathan’s associates. I know that President Badluck Jonathan might be untoucheable as Nigerian former president, but God will judge all of those that have hijacked the destiny of Nigeria to enrich their pockets. Shame on them all!

Hi EGBERRI MAMA 1, I advise you to keep watching majority of your looters heroes go to underground jail for looting money that should have been used to build refineries here at home, money budgeted for defense, money for educational improvement, money to build roads and bridges, money to generate more electricity, and the people’s money to improve lives of all Nigerians. I have no idea of your true identity, but I want to believe that you are one of those ignorants from the Southsouth region where the dumbest president-Zoologist comes from. However, if majority of our people bury their conscience and common sense as you have suggested based on tribalism, Nigeria will see no progress, and the looters will continue to destroy lives and destinies of millions of our people. I repeat, I have no sympathy or pity for criminal and heartless looters who care only about themselves and their families at the expense of all Nigerians. Badluck Jonathan was president for six years, and the southsouth region is still backward with hundreds of abandoned federal projects that funds for them was awarded by your hero-President Jonathan. You and other shortsighted Nigerians should be ashamed of yourself for your rediculous comments that mainly based on tribalism and not on common sense. Those that looted our national treasure dry from surplus to bankruptcy are the real enemies of the people. You think talking good and protecting criminals and looters because they are Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaws, and Hausa/Fulani will make our nation great? You have missed it. Any region with people with your type of reasoning or mentality will no progress, economic growth, and good governance. My advice for you is to mind the business of your region, I will always stand up for justice and the truth no matter what. We don’t need any advise from people that reason like you. Shikenah!

@ Egberi Mama 1, you need to stop playing tribalism game. I have been reading comments it seems you are so tribal and that is not good for our democracy. I understand that Jonathan is your clan man but he remains the worst president in the history of Nigeria. You don’t destroy good things just because your predecessors did the same thing. You always make reference to 1960. Even though we have having bad leadership since our independence, does that mean that your brother who is a learned individual suppose to toil that way and contribute more to the nation’s destruction?. Jonathan is a big disappointment, he should have been the reformer of our time but he decided to divert his effort in making money. I have been saying this and I will keep on hammering on this. He disappointed Nigerians when they needed him most. If he has done the right thing, nobody will be supporting Buhari. He left us no option than to follow a candidate who has interest of Nigerians in mind regardless which side of Nigeria that person may comes from.

Since Jonathan is a saint, how come he was unable to solve all the problems you have just identified? Or is it boko boys and Buhari dat destroyed all the good roads, hospitals, employments opportunities, securities that your GEJ painstakingly built??? It baffles me that after all these obvious lapses of Jonathan, a right thinking Nigerian especiatially the youths can still stand up for him. Mind you, I am from Niger delta but I refused to be tribal in this war against corruption. Let the truth be told, uncle jona messed up BIG TIME

@ Egberi, if your your relative was included in our heroic military men that was murdered due to ammunition fund embezzlement, then maybe you won’t be opening your trash mouth to utter nonsense. It baffles me that people like you have no shame anymore. You speaking for a corrupt politician, what has this nation turn into. Your whole family should be ashamed of you for this comment. If you could fathom the amount of damage that has been done to this great nation due to fund misappropriation, you would bury your head in a jar of shame. The only thing I can deduce from your rhetoric is that you’re an uncivilized human being. Your generation to come will curse you for this comment. I have no reservation that you’re immature in your reasoning faculty.

Accountability start from somewhere. If you don’t steal from the people, EFCC will not knock on your door. Do not speak for thieves or it makes you one of them. People that stole petty items get jungle justice all the time, why not this politician? What’s wrong is wrong! Please stop this nonsense defense already, it just shows you’re one of them.
