What the ex-Minister said
Femi Fani-Kayode tweeted:
“I pity those that said I was arrested. They are filled with hate & live on fake news. Since when did an invitation & a friendly chat become an arrest? And even if I had been arrested, SO WHAT? I am not above the law & neither does joining APC give me immunity. My God is MIGHTY!”
On Tuesday evening, Fani-Kayode took to his Twitter page to inform the public that he was at the Commission’s Lagos office between 2.00 pm to 8:30 pm on Tuesday.

“Just arrived at the George Hotel for dinner. I was never arrested by the EFCC. I was invited & I flew down to Lagos to see them. I arrived at their office at 2.00pm & left at 8.30pm. I was granted bail on self recognition. They were very polite & professional. Thanks be to God,” he tweeted.
