'Emefiele, Buhari Now Put To Shame' - Fani-Kayode Reacts To Supreme Court's Ruling On Naira Policy

One of the domestic staff of former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that the politician never assaulted or sexually harassed any of his female workers.

A nurse employed by the former minister, Favour Anthony made this known in a statement made available to reporters on Friday.

Naija News had reported how a former staff, Anthonia Uchenna, had alleged Fani-Kayode stripped his former chef naked over theft and arrested some others suspected of stealing in his house.

But according to Anthony, the allegations made against the former minister are false, baseless, and a move to tarnish his image.

She noted that there was never a time Fani-Kayode assaulted anyone, alleging that the estranged wife of the former Minister, Precious Chikwendu, was behind the false claim.

Anthony said the lady in the viral video was sacked in 2019 for allegedly stealing.

She said: “My name is Pastor Favour Anthony. I am the head nurse of Chief Fani-Kayode. I have been working with him and the children for four years.

“It has been brought to my attention that one Anthonia, who was sacked in 2019, has gone to the press and made a video in which she has told many lies against Chief Fani-Kayode.

‘’She has also made a video which is full of falsehood and fabrications, she also swore to a fake affidavit making these allegations, this matter is now under criminal investigation and Anthonia was told to tell these lies together with five other former staff members just to tarnish Chief Fani-Kayode name.”

She added: “In all my four years of working in Chief Fani-Kayode’s house, none of the staff was sexually molested including An and no staff was ever stripped naked, this is a ridiculous claim and it never happened.

“I am the head nurse and the first person anyone would have reported such things to is me, it never happened.

“The allegations of sexual harassment are also false because everybody knows how disciplined chief Fani-Kayode is around those that take care of his children.

“There are also many people who have worked here before who will tell you the truth.

“I am a married woman and a pastor. My husband is also a pastor and we have our own church, I have not lied and do not need to lie.

“For four years up until today, no less than 15 nannies and nurses worked under me and not one of them has ever complained about Chief Fani-Kayode.”
