Former Minister of Aviation, Femi
Fani-Kayode, was today March 6th re-arraigned for alleged N100 million money laundering. Premium Times reports that Fani-Kayode told a Federal High court in Lagos that he was
not guilty of all the 40 counts of money laundering instituted against
him by EFCC
The trial judge, Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, fixed March 10, 17, 18 and 19 for the trial.
The EFCC is accusing Mr. Fani-Kayode, who was also a former Minister
of Culture and Tourism, of money laundering. The commission had amended
its 47-count charge, totalling N230 million, to a 40-count charge of
N100 million.
Today Mr. Fani-Kayode sat patiently in the dock as the court
registrar slowly read out all the 40 counts of money laundering against
him. He responded “not guilty” to all of them.
