Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, who was rearrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) outside the premises of the Federal High Court on Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos last Friday, has slumped in custody.
The Special Assistant to Fani-Kayode on Media, Jude Ndukwe disclosed this in a statement on Monday night.
He said the former spokesman of Goodluck Jonathan 2015 Presidential Campaign slumped in the custody of the EFCC on Saturday.
Ndukwe revealed in the statement that his boss had been on medication.
He said, “Although Chief Femi Fani-Kayode had yet to complete the recovery therapy he was undergoing after spending the initial 67 gruelling days in the EFCC custody wherein he was also physically attacked by one of the commission’s agents, in deference to the law and the Commission, he painfully but willingly cut short his therapy and medical checks to attend court proceedings.
“One would have thought that these were enough to convince EFCC that Fani-Kayode was very willing to face his persecutors in court. But rather than be humane in their conduct,
the EFCC hounded him for the umpteenth time on that fateful Friday and have since kept him in custody.
“It is, therefore, little wonder that based on the history of his medical condition which the commission is very much aware of, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode slumped while in detention on Saturday, October 22, 2016.”
