Following the arrest and detention of the former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani Kayode’s wife, Precious Chikwendu, and their 8-month-old son at a bank in Ekiti state on the orders of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose through his media aide, Lere Olayinka was reported to have facilitated the release and rescue of both parties.
In a statement released to its effect, the Ekiti state Governor’s media aide said: “In continuation of their government’s reign of impunity, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s wife, Precious Chikwendu was DETAINED for over FOUR HOURS with her 8 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 in it.
She was DETAINED in the bank on the order of the EFCC! Even when her 8 MONTHS old baby was crying for food and water, she was held captive!
It took the intervention of Governor Fayose who stormed the bank to free the woman while the EFCC officials that would have whisked her away were still being expected.
Here is the picture of Fani-Kayode’s wife with her 8 MONTHS old baby after they were rescued by Governor Fayose.”
