Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of
aviation, who has been in detention since Monday, May 9, 2016, has
regained his freedom today, Friday, July 15, 2016, after fulfilling his bail conditions
.
In a statement on Facebook, a few
minutes ago, Chief Fani-Kayode said his trial and detention were all
“politically motivated” but that he would not be broken.
While expressing thanks to all those who stood by him in “his trying times”, Fani-Kayode reiterated his innocence and his readiness to vigorously defend himself vowing that “the struggle would continue”.
“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,” Femi Fani-Kayode said.
“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
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,” he wrote.
