Femi Fani-Kayode discharged and acquitted of money laundering

A Federal High court sitting in Lagos this morning discharged& acquitted former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode of 38 out of the 40 amended count charge of money laundering brought against him by the EFCC in 2008.

Delivering her judgement, the presiding judge, Justice Rita Ofili Ajumogobia, said that EFCC had not provided any evidence that proved that the former minister had in anyway laundered money through fictitious business transactions. According to her, the prosecution had failed woefully in proving that he was guilt in all the 38 count charge brought against him.
She went further to say that all the witnesses provided by the prosecution since the trial started had not provided any evidence to prove that the former Minister had any business dealings with them.
 
Consequently she discharged and acquitted him of 38 count charges but however instructed him to enter a defence against the two other charges counts. The case was adjourned till December 8th.

  7. These blind worms called politicians in power (PIP) that think
    all NIGERIANS are retarded better start germinatin another thought. This regime deliberately KILLED EFFCC n other governmental anti corruption organisations by starvin em of Funds. I rest my case for the Court of public opinion to deliberate.

  15. Who does not know that Fani kayode would be set free, afterall he had joined the evil party called PDP in order to escape justice but he is not going to escape God"s wrath because he is evil together with the people he joined in PDP.

  26. Jonathan is synonymous to corruption. Since he has discharged Almustapha and pardoned Alamesigha, am not disappointed abt FFK's case.PDP, corruption!!!

  28. "I totally disagree, stealing is not corruption. FFK may have stolen from the public coffers by mistake, he is by no means corrupt. No! I disagree with anyone who disagrees with me on this and I earnestly agree with those patriots who toe the party line on this point distinction. FFK is a loyal party member who believed in 2015 since 2010 when we came on board but who is being witch-hunted by the opposition members like Buhari because of his advocacy of "fresh air till 2019" and his sturborn refusal to be his V.P despite all the bribes and threats of exile to Maiduguri.
    Know this all you loyal and patriotic party supporters; no matter who you are, no matter where you are, no matter your crime, I will find you and have you discharged and acquitted and if you are convicted of any crime before I find you, I will pardon you unconditionally! Its fresh air till 2019 Nigerians"

  35. Some of us have seen it coming. As long as you are ready to go pro GEJ in this desperate bid for 2nd term, you are as good as pardoned irrespective of crime. Examples are abound: Ayo Fayose vs EFCC-Freed to contest.
    Muhammed Abacha vs EFFCC, freed in or order to capture Kano, Diepre Alamesiagha and Bode George Vs The State- Jailed but got presidential pardon. FFK has been playing the fighter game for GEJ; boldly promoting his scorecard, lambasting his critics. We are in a nation of extreme impunity.
