The ex-minister was arrested in the premises of the Federal High Court in Lagos over a fresh allegation that he received N26m directly from the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki.
In a Statement signed by the party National Publicity Secretary Prince Dayo Adeyeye, Fani-Kayode arrest is in the guise of an anti-corruption war in furtherance of Buhari’s campaign of attribution against members of the opposition.
PDP claimed “His re-arrest is the latest in a series of plans designed to further harass and intimidate our members and supporters using the security and intelligence apparatus of the Nigerian State. A few days before his arrest his wife, Precious Chikwendu and their 8 month old son, Aragorn, were arrested and would have been detained but for the timely intervention of Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State.”
PDP accused the EFCC of denying Fani-Kayode medical attention from his known doctors.
“What is not common knowledge is that at the time of his arrest, Chief Fani-Kayode was ill and taking medication. Since his arrest, he has been denied access to his medication and medical doctors who are conversant with his medical history.
“The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have continued to deny Chief Fani-Kayode access to his medication.
“The only conclusion that can be reached is that the APC led Federal Government and EFCC want Chief Fani-Kayode to die in detention. In the light of the prevailing circumstances where EFCC are detaining an obviously weak and ill man, this is an inescapable conclusion.
“These continuous violations of the constitutional rights and freedoms of the Nigerian people by the Buhari Administration must stop. The Federal Government cannot, and must not, be allowed to continually infringe on the rights of the very people it swore to uphold.” PDP claimed.
