Favour Anthony, the head nurse in the home of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has defended him on the allegation that he frequently assaults and sexually harassed his domestic staff.
Favour was responding to the viral allegation of former domestic staff in the home of Fani-Kayode, Anthonia Uchenna, who alleged that the former Minister once stripped his former chef naked over an allegation of theft, and also arrested some others who were suspected of stealing in the house.
In a statement, Favour said the allegations against her boss were not true, saying they were all lies from the pit of hell.
She accused Precious Chikwendu, the divorce-seeking wife of Fani-Kayode, of masterminding the whole plot in a bid to tarnish his image.
Favour, who also claimed to be a pastor, said there was never a time the ex-minister assaulted anyone.
Her statement reads: “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.
“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 know 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.”
