Fani-Kayode alleges plan to raid houses of two prominent clerics

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has alleged that there are plans to raid the houses of two prominent church leaders.

In a series of tweets on Monday, Fani-Kayode claimed that weapons would be planted during the operation and they will be declared terrorists.

He however did not disclose the names of the clerics.

Fani-Kayode tweeted: “The plan to storm the homes of 2 prominent Church leaders and 2 key opposition figures,plant weapons and declare them terrorists will fail.

“It is not a crime to speak up for our faith. It is not a crime to stand up against injustice. It is not a crime to fight for the oppressed.”

The former Minister had earlier stated that the bill seeking to establish a commission that would regulate non-governmental organisations (NGOs), will cripple religious organizations like churches and mosques .
