Nigeria’s former insisted if Aviation, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, has apologised to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over his Tuesday alert to the nation that the anti-graft agency was planning to arrest the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
Fani-Kayode and Afenifere National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, had raised an alarm on Tuesday over an imminent arrest of Onnoghen in his house by men of the EFCC, which the EFCC, later on Tuesday evening said was untrue and threatened a legal action against the duo.
Fani-Kayode wrote: “Why have the EFCC surrounded the home of CJN Onnoghen and why are they seeking to arrest him? These people want Nigeria to burn! Buhari call off your dogs before it is too late! This is a democracy and not a gestapo state! In the name of God let this madness stop.”
Similarly, Odumakin in a short video broadcast on social media, alleged a raid on the residence of Onnoghen.
But in a reaction via the same medium on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode expressed regret over the information he shared, the reason he said made him delete the contentious post.
Gani-Kayode wrote: “Yesterday I was informed by usually reliable sources that EFCC were positioned outside CJN’s home. I have since discovered that the men were not from EFCC and I removed the posting. The error is regretted.”
However, Fani-Kayode in the same post raised a poser, as he asked the Federal Government to “tell us which agency sent those men and why they beat a retreat.”
