Boko Haram suspects protected a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode during his four-day detention at Kuje Prison.
In an article penned by Fani-Kayode titled, ‘Head bloodied but not bowed and the ascension of President-Elect Donald Trump.’
The former minister said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission didn’t interrogate him for the over two weeks he spent in the underground cell.
He was then kept in a cell along with jailed terrorists when transferred to Kuje Prison.
Fani-Kayode said, “At Kuje, I was kept in the terrorist wing of the prison which was built by the British government specifically for convicts and suspects. There were 47 of them in the facility and I was with them throughout. These were tough, disciplined, hardened, surprisingly well-educated and intimidating men.
“This was a frightful place and those that were locked up there were very dangerous and frightful people yet thankfully the Lord went ahead of me.
“The single cells, though small, were clean, well-ventilated, dry and very neat. The inmates were surprisingly very kind and friendly towards me and turned out to be my best friends and bodyguards whenever I toured the other parts of the prison.
“Most of those men were not Boko Haram killers but had been falsely accused, tortured and just dumped into prison and I felt nothing but pain and sorrow when I heard their stories.”
