Extra: My ‘lion’ will be vindicated, says Fani-Kayode’s wife

Precious Chikwendu, wife of Femi Fani-Kayode, says her husband will be vindicated at the end of his investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Fani-Kayode has been in the custody of the EFCC since May 9.

On Monday, the anti-graft agency secured a court order to keep the former spokesman of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign in custody for 21 days.

Reacting to this in a terse statement issued on Thursday, Chikwendu said her “lion” would overcome “the lies and injustice”.

“If life was a movie I’m sure we would have our fingers on the fast forward button to skip so many scenes that ain’t just fair,” she said.

“But this is reality and in reality we live through it. It’s a time when strength and courage comes in play and only the brave can afford both. My lion (Femi Fani-Kayode) will walk through this webby den of lies and injustice.

“Persecution and trials are common, only the weak fear them. He remains brave and strong through all these and soon he will be vindicated. I stand with my husband Femi Fani-Kayode.‎”
