Afenifere says it was making the demand because it heard that EFCC was planning to get another detention order to ensure that Fani-Kayode was made to remain in detention. Part of the statement reads,
“Afenifere
demands immediate release of Femi Fani-Kayode who will be clocking five weeks
in EFCC cell on Wednesday. We are being told that EFCC is planning to get
another detention order to continue his incarceration. We are at a loss as to
why EFCC announced to the whole world that he committed a crime by collecting
campaign fund and holds him for five weeks without charging him to court. It is
in the same country that EFCC accused one Jafaru Isa of collecting money for
election and allowed him to go after a night in EFCC cell. Why is Fani-kayode
situation different if indeed it is all about corruption and not a ploy to keep
him out of circulation for his critical views, especially on the criminalities
of the Fulani herdsmen. We demand that he be charged to court immediately or
set free if there is no charge against him.”
