The plan to re-arrest and detain me once again by the EFCC - Femi Fani-Kayode
Read
his piece below..
I have been reliably informed by my sources
within the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that they are
planning to re-arrest and detain me for as long as possible once again even
though I have been granted bail by the Federal High Court in Lagos. Fresh
charges were filed against me by the EFCC at the Federal High Court in Abuja on
July 7th.
The
allegations border on a baseless allegation and false claim that I received
twenty six million naira from the NSA's office in 2014. These are politically-motivated
charges and there is no truth in or substance to them whatsoever.
The case has been
assigned to a judge and the date for arraignment has been set for 10th
Novemberbefore Justice Tsoho of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
My lawyers were in court
for the original date of arraignment on the 14th of October but for some
curious reason the EFCC did not show up on that day.
The matter was therefore
adjourned till 10th November and my lawyers have given an undertaking
to the Judge to ensure that I am in court on that day. They have also written
to the EFCC to that effect and our letter was acknowledged by them.
Because of that the
matter is now seized of the court yet the EFCC are still planning to arrest me
probably at the premises of the Federal High Court in Lagos after I appear
there on friday 21st October to attend my trial on the trumped up
and, again, politically-motivated charges concerning the presidential campaign
funds.
If they do not arrest me
then they will arrest me and seek to detain me for as long as possible soon
after that. Whichever way they will come and I am ready for them. I am not
running.
The truth is that the
EFCC are a ready, willing and able tool in the hands of the hawks and
hardliners in the Buhari administration and they are apparantly acting on
orders.
They are desperate to
keep me out of circulation and off the streets and I have been reliably
informed that they were ordered to ensure that that is the case by the
Presidency.
They are also eager to arrest
and detain my wife and my 8 month old son just to hurt and spite me even though
they have done absolutely NOTHING wrong.
By the time I am in
their custody they will start churning out all manner of garbage and lies to
the media about me and my family and they will say all sorts of things about
supposedly new matters which they have "just discovered" and
"fresh allegations".
They will even claim
that I have admitted to certain crimes, that I have been badly implicated and
that I in turn have implicated other people. Please do NOT believe a word of
these dirty lies when they start flowing. It is called disinformation and the
EFCC indulge in it all the time.
That is their stock in
trade and they will feed the press with all manner of garbage knowing that I am
not there to defend myself, to set the record straight or to expose their
fabrications.
That is their way. That
is their style. They will say and do anything to demonise, humiliate, destroy,
convict on the pages of newspapers and detain indefinately (with the aid of
questionable detention orders from equally questionable magistrates and judges)
those that they hate and all their perceived enemies.
Their plan is to attempt
to justify keeping me off the streets for the next one month and even longer
even though I am already out on court bail.
I have known about this
evil plan for over one month now and I am not deterred. I am not scared or
intimidated and I urge them to do their worse and let God judge between
us.
The more evil they do to
me, the more the coals of fire will pour on their heads. Also the more the
President will continue to fail woefully and have all manner of strange and
inexplicable problems.
Wickedness and wicked
men never last. No matter what they do to me that is my consolation. They are
bullies and cowards and they have no shame.
My only crime is that I
have spoken the bitter truth to power and I am very proud of that.
That is what God created
me to do. It is my calling and I stand by every word that I have ever said
about this President and this evil, corrupt and inept government.
As long as there is life
and breath in me I will continue to speak the truth and fight for a better
Nigeria.
This government is
vicious, vengeful, inept and toxic and so is their willing tool the EFCC.
As I am in their cells
and subjected to their barbaric torture and wicked and inhuman treatment for
another period of time I shall continue to pray for Nigeria.
I shall also remain
strong in my faith and continue to trust in my Lord.
I urge all those that
believe in me, read my essays, follow my posts and share my vision and views to
stay strong, to keep the flag flying, to fight a good fight and to never give
up or falter despite the tyranny that we face and the fascists that we are
confronted with.
They may have today
but tomorrow belongs to us. In the end our God will rise up in His
power and in His might and He will rid us of this evil and this terrible and
accursed affliction.
In the end, despite all
their lies, falsehood, misrepresentation, malevolence, malice and vicious
persecution, we shall prevail because our God is mighty.
Therefore stand tall,
stand strong and have no fear. For even though the night may be dark, joy comes
in the morning.
I love you all and thank
you for your continous prayers, love and support and for having faith in me.
You humble, strengthen and inspire me. Every single one of you.
I go forth to
carry my cross. I go forth to follow my calling. I go forth to walk into my
glorious destiny. God bless u. Shalom..
