I enjoyed been in detention - Fani Kayode
seven days after incarceration, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC
yesterday finally released the former spokesperson of ex- President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode to join his family and friends. Chief Femi Fani-Kayode who has b een
in detention since May 9,
2016, finally
regained
freedom
yesterday,
Friday, July 15,
2016, after
fulfilling his bail
conditions.
In a statement
he signed
yesterday after
he gained freedom, Chief Fani- Kayode who noted that
he will not be broken, however described his trial and
detention as politically motivated, said that "he would
not be broken.
"While expressing thanks to all those who stood by him
in his trying times, he reiterated his innocence while
stating his readiness to stand trial and vigorously defend
himself
and concluded by vowing that the struggle would
continue."
The statement read in full, "I give thanks to God that I am
free after 67 days in detention. I thank my wife, lawyers,
children and friends for all their support. This was the
worst experience of my life but God was with me all the
way.
"I suffered immeasurably but I count it all as joy. I am
innocent of all charges and I look forward to defending
myself vigorously in court.
"These charges are politically motivated and I have been
severely punished for my political views and criticisms of
the government. They are trying to silence me, break me,
discredit me and destroy, but as long as Jesus is on the
throne this will never work. I am strong and I am bold
and the struggle will continue."
