BREAKING: Again, Fani-Kayode arrested by EFCC

A former Minister of Aviation in Nigeria, Femi Fani-Kayode, was on Tuesday re-arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He was arrested at a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos State.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart, who was in court over his forgery trial, was exiting the courtroom after the matter was adjourned till January 24, 2021, when he was approached by an EFCC investigator.

He was subsequently arrested and moved to a nearby EFCC custody — a week after his earlier arrest.

It is understood that he is still being quizzed over false documents.

All the offences Fani-Kayode is accused of are said to have contravened the provisions of sections 15 (3) (4), 16 (2) (b), and 16 (5) of the Money laundering (prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012.

  1. But he said that he was never arrested the other time rather it was a friendly chat. Let’s keep our fingers crossed while keeping in mind that he’s an APC stalwart.

  2. I support continue of investigating of former and current political officers until is become history in Nigeria.
