Breaking News; EFCC Re-arrests Fani-kayode by NOETHNICITY(m): 3:08pm On Oct 21, 2016
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) has re-arrested the former Minister of
Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode.
Mr. Fani-Kayode was on Friday arrested by
operatives of the anti-graft body as he left the
Federal High Court premises in Lagos.
EFCC Invites Fani-Kayode
On May 9, 2016, the former Aviation Minister, Mr
Femi Fani-Kayode honoured the invitation of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC).
He arrived at the headquarters of the anti-graft
agency in Abuja on Monday morning in a police
convoy.
EFCC operatives had laid a siege to Mr Fani-
Kayode’s residence on Friday but later withdrew
after almost six hours.
Officers of the EFCC had visited his Maitama
home at about 10:00am local time, inviting him
for questioning on Monday, May 9, only to
return at midday with armed men, seeking his
arrest.
The EFCC said it was carrying out its functions,
claiming that Mr Fani-Kayode had a case to
answer over the Peoples Democratic Party’s
election funds.
Mr Fani-Kayode said he was surprised at the
turn of events after he had promised to show up
with his lawyer on Monday.
He was the Director of Publicity for former
President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP’s
campaign Organisation before the general
election of 2015.
Mr Fani-Kayode Released
On July 15, 2016, Mr Fani-Kayode was released
from EFCC custody after meeting his bail
conditions.
He was released at about 6:30pm in Lagos on
Friday after over two months.
The former Aviation Minister, shortly after his
release told Channels Television, “I give thanks
to God that I am free after 67 days in detention.
“This was the worst experience of my life but
God was with me all the way. I suffered
immeasurably but I count it all as joy.
“I am innocent of all charges and I look forward
to defending myself vigorously in court. These
charges are politically motivated and I have been
severely punished for my political views and
criticisms of the government.”
Mr Fani-Kayode was arrested by the anti-graft
agency over alleged 1.5 billion Naira fraud and
has been charged alongside a former Minister of
Finance, Nenadi Usman; a firm, Joint Trust
Dimensions Limited; and one Jimoh Yusuf.
The Federal High Court had granted bail in the
sum of 250 million Naira each, to Mr Fani-
Kayode, Nenadi Usman and Danjuma Yusuf who
are being tried by the EFCC for allegedly stealing
and laundering about 4.9 billion Naira.

Buhari cabals and inducted cabinet members are incorruptible

Ok he should go and clear his name with big grammar.
The evidence against is alarming, when you are granted bail come back and release another falsehood,
you would go back for interrogation once more, since you has no immunity backing you.
