Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba, one of the leaders of Coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CCSO) has called on the Federal Government to shelve alleged plans to apprehend former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi-Fani Kayode over what he called fabricated charges.
Olorunmagba during a press conference on Friday in Abuja, stated that such move by the Federal Government is capable of further depressing the image of the country before the international community.
According to him, the group had privileged information from the security agencies of the plot to arrest Fani-Kayode for treason.
Part of his statement reads “While our leaders are supposed to be promoting democratic values, Nigeria is sliding into a full-blown fascist state,”
“We want to make it clear that any attempt to arrest Fani-Kayode will be resisted and if the government goes ahead to arrest him, we will do everything legally possible to ensure his release and of course, we all know that such moves to ensure he is released will further dent the already dented image of the country”.
