EFCC Re-Arrests Femi Fani-Kayode

The Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC), on Friday, re-arrested the former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode.

He was re-arrested at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos State where he appeared today.

His arrest comes in less than 24 hours after he released a statement that EFCC was planning to re-arrest him.

Fani Kayode had said that the plan was to arrest him despite the bail granted him by the Federal High Court in Lagos, adding that fresh charges were filed against him by the EFCC at a Federal High Court in Abuja.

“I have been reliably informed by my sources within the EFCC that they are planning to re-arrest and detain me for as long as possible once again even though I have been granted bail by the Federal High Court in Lagos.

“Fresh charges were filed against me by the EFCC at the Federal High Court in Abuja on July 7. The allegations border on a baseless allegation and false claim that I received N26million naira from the NSA’s office in 2014.

“These are politically-motivated charges and there is no truth in or substance to them whatsoever.” Fani-Kayode added that the case had been assigned to a judge and the date for arraignment had been set for November 10 before Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court in Abuja,” he had said.
