“Buhari, EFCC Plan To Poison Fani-Kayode In Detention”
Fresh indications have emerged of an alleged plan by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to ‘kill’ Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister and former media aide to ex-Nigerian president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
THE WHISTLER recalls that the EFCC had, on Friday, re-arrested Fani-Kayode after he appeared at a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Jude Ndukwe, an aide to Fani-Kayode said, in a statement made available to newsmen, that the EFCC and the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government have perfected plots to poison his boss who is currently in custody of the anti-graft agency.

“We are therefore aghast but not surprised that this latest action of the EFCC is in sync with the script writers of this whole episode to silence Fani-Kayode by hook or by crook,” Mr Ndukwe said.
“Words have filtered to us from credible sources within the presidency and the security agencies that the ultimate aim of those who are behind the former minister’s travails is to apply ‘extreme measures’ on him.
“We have also been told that in security circles, that means to have him killed through the use of some poisonous substances that would break his health down irreversibly and eventually kill him even months after he might have been released so that the suspicion would not be at the doorsteps of state agents.
“If not, why allow Nenadi Usman (former minister of State of Finance) and Director of Finance in the PDP Campaign Organisation, Danjuma, and others charged alongside Fani-Kayode to go and only him was re-arrested in the court premises?

“Our fears now are that nothing is beyond this government of sadists and fascists. We call on the good people of Nigeria, democrats and lovers of this great nation to rise and demand that no Nigerian should be persecuted or assassinated based on his beliefs and or opinions on critical national matters,” he added.
