1.We
condemn, in its entirety, the arrest and detention of Precious
Chikwendu, wife of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode – former Spokesperson of the
PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO) – on ) October 17, 2016
by officials of the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in
Ado-Ekiti. She was arrested along with her 8 month old son, Aragorn,
and would have been detained but for the timely intervention of Governor
Ayo Fayose.
2.This
action represents a new low in the Federal Government’s resolve to
harass and persecute real and perceived enemies of the Buhari
administration under the guise of an anti-corruption crusade.
3.It
is reprehensible for the government to attack members of the families
of its perceived enemies, especially wives and children, for any reason
whatsoever.
4.In
addition to freezing Chief Fani-Kayode’s accounts, the Federal
Government has ordered the freezing of accounts of his wife, Precious
Chikwendu, several of which were opened and operated long before their
marriage. These accounts have been frozen for no reason other than her
marriage to Chief Fani-Kayode.
5.The
Buhari administration cannot, and must not, be allowed to continue the
violation of the constitutional rights and freedoms of the Nigerian
people. This sort of tyranny must not be allowed to continue unchecked.
6.We have advised the family to approach the courts and enforce their legal rights in this matter.
7.May God bless Nigeria.
Signed:
Prince Dayo Adeyeye
National Publicity Secretary
