She added that “He threatens to beat me up whenever I protest his harassments. I am aware that he sexually harasses other female staff too. I know that he sexually harassed one blessing who also worked with him and as a result, she had to quit her job.”
Anthonia told The Punch that the former Minister also orders his body guard to strip her and other domestic staff and flog them in addition to ordering the police to arrest and detain them on several occasions
In her words, “I witnessed Chief Fani-Kayode direct his bodyguards to completely strip his chef naked on the allegation that they stole from him. He sometimes drags his staff to the police station where they remain for days.
“I was also treated in a similar ways too. Chief Fani-Kayode instructed one Bako to strip me naked and then beat me up. I was taken to the police station.”
The former domestic staff added that the PDP chieftain owes her a 3-month salary while she was paid a monthly stipend of N80,000.
