“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 me 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.”
” 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,” he added.
Fani-Kayode was released on Friday, July 15, 2016 after spending over 60 days in EFCC custody.
