Charges against me were politically motivated - Fani Kayode

The former minister, and the spokesperson for the former President Goodluck Jonathan's 2015 presidential re-election, Mr. Femi Fani Kayode, who was charged to court by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), for alleged mismanagement of 2015 campaign fund, has regained freedom.

Kayode who regained freedom yesterday from the dungeon of the EFCC after 67 days, have thanked the God for saving him and also revealed that he is innocent, lamenting that his charges were politically motivated.

I give thanks to God that I am free after 67 days in detention. I thank my wife lawyers children and friends for all their support.

This was the worst experience of my life but God was with me all the way. I suffered immeasurably but I count it all as joy.

I am innocent of all charges and I look forward to defending myself vigorously in court. These charges are politically motivated and I have been severely punished for my political views and criticisms of the government.

They are trying to silence me, break me, discredit me and destroy but as long as Jesus is on the throne this will never work. I am strong and I am bold and the struggle will continue.
