The EFCC while carrying out its functions and investigations over the Peoples’ Democratic Party’s election funds says Mr Fani-Kayode has a case to answer

Mr Fani-Kayode was the Director of Publicity for former President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP’s campaign Organisation before the general election of 2015.
EFCC operatives who visited Mr Fani-Kayode’s Maitama home around 10:00am, inviting him for questioning on Monday, May 9, returned at midday with armed men, for his arrest. He was arrested and led in a police convoy to the EFCC headquarters.
Earlier Mr Fani-Kayode had described the earlier reports of his arrest peddled in the media, as
absurd  saying,

“I am not a coward” and “this attempt to further demonise and humiliate me by the EFCC will fail.
“If they have any questions for me why don’t they just write to me or call me, give me a date and I will be in their office. I have made my position clear on the issue of the Presidential campaign funds, I have written an essay about it in my various columns about two weeks ago and I have been waiting for the EFCC to reach me ever since then.
“They have invited others but they have not invited me. I do not believe that I have done anything wrong and this latest attempt to criminalise me and make me look like a fugitive from justice will fail.
“Others that were invited to the EFCC over this same campaign funds issue were sent letters of invitation and were reached. I appear to be the exception and now these hideous lies are being fed to the newspapers to make it look as if I am in hiding or that I am running from them just to sensationalize the whole issue.”

Critics of the APC-led administration are of the opinion that the government is not being transparent in its dealings in the political and economic arena, saying that it is selective in its corruption drive and appears to want to teach certain individuals of certain political divide some tough lessons
