Osakwe, it was learnt, was arrested on Sunday shortly after returning from church. He had in February accused Fani-Kayode of arresting him at different times in 2019 and refusing to pay for his labour.
.
The PUNCH learnt that he was whisked away by policemen and taken to the State Criminal Investigation Department and forced to make statements before being given a stringent bail condition.
.
The carpenter had, along with seven others, visited The PUNCH office in Abuja last month where they accused the former minister of assault, arbitrary arrest and sexual harassment.
.
The former domestic servants had also accused the police of detaining them at different times at the instance of Fani-Kayode.
.
They had also deposed to affidavits and made copies available to The PUNCH. However, rather than respond to the allegations when contacted by this newspaper, Fani-Kayode quickly wrote a petition to Bala Ciroma the Commissioner of Police in Abuja, accusing them of criminal defamation.
.
Osakwe had told The PUNCH, “Chief Fani-Kayode asked me to come to make repairs sometimes in 2019 at his house. I spent N15,000 to repair the expeller. I also spent N42,000 to repair a toilet seat. I was not given the money in return neither was my labour paid for.
.
“Anytime I ask Chief Fani-Kayode for my money, he threatens me. I endured all these because his wife, Precious, was the one who brought me. Chief Fani-Kayode locked up an apprentice who had come to fix tinted glass at the balcony of his house.
.
“I was locked up for four days due to a misunderstanding over that glass. I spent N75,000 in addition to my labour of N60,000 which has not been given to me. About N250, 000 is what he owes me.”
.
The officer in charge of the case, CSP James Idachaba, who is also Head of the legal department, had told The PUNCH that the investigation of Fani-Kayode’s ex-workers was sequel to an order by the CP.

*This is outright abuse of power...why can this man not be brought to order? I hope he will not attempt to run for any political post and i hope no one is planning to dash him any post when they come into power ? he would abuse more people if given any power!!!
It's only in Nigeria that the bush meat turns into the hunter. Very annoying situation. I hope this Carpenter can get a strong legal representation and get paid also got damages. It's a gross abuse of power. FFK is mostly in the news for the wrong reasons
ReplyDeleteSomeone should call FFK to order. His own is becomming 3 much.
DeleteA call/petition to ban him from entering UK, US, France even Dubai should start o......
Let the oppression begins!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd when you hear him quote the scriptures, you would think he is angel Gabriel's chief of staff. The arbitrariness and his disdain for the lowly speaks volume of the kind of man he is.I just know he would meet his match someday and he would be disgraced publicly. That day is nigh.
ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria you get intimated for speaking the truth.. FFK has been annoying from day 1. Wicked man
ReplyDeleteFani kayode is a disgusting brute!! May God speak for the oppressed
ReplyDeleteAll animals are equal but some are more equal than the others. I guess our constitution is only applicable to some certain citizens. May God help the carpenter to get justice for the abuse on his human rights.
ReplyDeleteFFK is cursed. That is all i know. He is truly a beast
ReplyDeleteFFK is a shameless man, imagine the abuse of power, exhibiting his cowardly traits by running to the police to intimidate helpless people.
ReplyDeleteWhere are all the powerful SANs? It is at times like this your pro bono services are needed. This man needs to be brought to book for all his evil deeds. #SurvivingFFK# loading.
ReplyDeleteWith this kind of behavior, then it's obvious he is very much guilty of all his former wives accusations 😞
ReplyDeleteThe NPF is just not working. This is me putting it mild. Smh.
ReplyDeleteAnd all the activists are keeping quiet. Isn't this something that should have gotten as much publicity that even outsiders would notice?
ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria. A cage,a zoo
ReplyDeleteThat video of him talking to his worker with a hammer in his hand and a body guards beside him can be entered as evidence, that qualifies as battery if I am not mistaken, this FFK man needs to be dealt with.
ReplyDeleteEvil and highly manipulative brute.
ReplyDeleteHe can buy the police and other security apparatus, but believe me, he can bribe Almighty God.
His downfall is near.
NPF, stop being willing tools in the operation of citizens.
Quit taking bribe and conduct swift and discreet investigation.
Stop grandstanding.
Stop humiliating innocent citizens just because of few thousands.
NPF knows the right thing to do, they should do it.
smh
ReplyDeleteThe way I dislike this man, It has nothing to do with Precious.
ReplyDeleteI saw a photo of him shamelessly taking the covid vaccine, confused human being, always eating his words and approbating and rebrobating like an unstable man, shior.
Like an unstable man?
DeleteNepa is more stable than him!
Let me go & tag him on IG. Fine , intelligent demon. What if ds man drops dead today?
ReplyDeleteHe is unstable, manipulative, vindictive, mentally deranged and a psychopath. Yes!!
ReplyDeleteIf you cook for a village, they can finish it, if the village cooks for you, you can’t finish it. Fani retrace your steps before the God of justice deals with you.
