The Nigeria police force has
invited Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, for alleged
conspiracy, criminal and inciting publication.
The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) chieftain was given up till Tuesday to appear before one Usman Garba, a
police officer.
In a letter reportedly seen by
PUNCH, the police said the invitation was based purely on a fact-finding
mission.
The letter dated August 20, 2018,
has Ref. No CR/3000/IGP.SEC/MU/T.G/ABJ Vol.54/226.
“This office is investigating the
above mentioned case reported to the Inspector-General of Police in which your
name featured,” read the letter signed by Habu Sani, commissioner of police in
charge of the IG monitoring unit, force headquarters.
“In view of the above, you are
requested to interview the undersigned through SP Usman Garba on 28/08/2018 by
10.00hrs to shed light on the allegations raised.
“You are to, however, note that
the invitation is purely for fact findings and your cooperation in this regard
is highly solicited. Please.”
PUNCH quoted Fani-Kayode as
saying he would not be cowed into silence.
“I am not in the least bit
intimidated and I cannot be silenced. They would have to kill me first. I
received the letter today without any details of the allegations or who the
complainant is,” he reportedly said.
“I will consult with my lawyers
and take it from there. One thing is clear though: this is yet another attack
on democracy and freedom of speech. No matter what they do, in the end we shall
prevail because God is with us.”
