More Troubles Hits Fani-Kayode As EFCC Commence Fresh Case Against Him

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is to commence afresh the prosecution of a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, and three others at the Federal High Court, Abuja on alleged misappropriation of N4.6bn and money laundering

Counsel for the EFCC, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN) told Justice Daniel Osiagor of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday that this move became necessary following last week’s judgment of the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, which quashed the charges.

Oyedepo said that given the judgment of the Court of Appeal, all exhibits and documents tendered by the prosecution should be released to enable the Commission to commence the matter afresh at the Federal High Court, Abjua.

JusticAbujaagor subsequently ordered the release of all exhibits and documents tendered before the court during the hearing of the matter back to the EFCC.
