Femi Fani-Kayode, on Tuesday, decried that
despite meeting the bail conditions set by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, Fani-Kayode was still being held by the
anti-graft agency.
Ndukwe in a statement condemned the continued
detention of the former minister by the EFCC,
describing it as a tactics to keeping key and
vocal members of the
opposition out of
circulation without due regard to Nigerian laws.
The statement read: "This tactics of keeping key
and vocal members of the opposition out of
circulation without due regard to our laws and or
harass them with charges that cannot stand the
test of judicial requirements has got to stop.

The
sweet smelling savour of democracy will be
polluted when the opposition is stifled.
"The continued detention of Chief Femi Fani-
Kayode in EFCC custody for this long, despite
meeting his bail conditions goes a long way to
show that this fight is not about corruption after
all, but all about silencing the opposition.
"We condemn in very strong terms these acts of
intimidation and harassment and request that he
(Chief Fani-Kayode) be released forthwith, even
as we call on all well-meaning Nigerians to know
who to hold responsible should anything
untoward happen to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode!

"This act of executive rascality, at a time when
Nigerians are groaning more than ever before
over the economic hardship inflicted on them by
this administration, is needless. It will achieve
nothing but will only lead to a puerile end."
