After fulfilling his bail condition, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has finally released the former spokesperson of ex- President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode to join his family and friends after sixty-seven days incarceration.
In a statement he signed after regaining his freedom, Chief Fani- Kayode who noted that he will not be broken, however described his trial and detention as being politically motivated.
While expressing thanks to all those who stood by him in his trying times, he reiterated his innocence and expressed readiness to stand trial and vigorously defend himself, vowing that the struggle would continue.
The statement read in full, “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 me, 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.”
