Court Fails To Give Judgement In Femi Fani-kayodes Case by AdigunOAP: 1:33pm On Jun 18, 2015


Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court, Lagos, on
Thursday failed to give judgment in the money laundering trial involving a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, due to the absence of the prosecution counsel, Mr. Festus Keyamo.

The judge chose not to deliver the verdict in Keyamo's absence, although the lawyer was represented in court.

Fani-Kayode's lawyer, Chief Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), urged the judge to go on and deliver the judgment since it was ready.

He said the law did not make it mandatory that a prosecuting counsel must be present before a judgment is delivered in a criminal case.
The senior advocate said even if someone is holding a watching brief for the prosecuting counsel, the judgment could still be delivered.

But Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia insisted that she was more comfortable reading the judgment in Keyamo's presence.
She stood the case down for 10 minutes to enable the lawyer from Keyamo's chambers, Mr. Festus Afeiyodion, to confirm from his principal the day he would be available.

About an hour later, Afeiyodion told the judge that Keyamo requested for a short stand-down to enable him come, as he was handling another matter elsewhere.

"Mr. Keyamo asked that the matter be stood down till 1.30pm. By then, he would be through and be here personally. In the alternative, he suggested that any other day could be chosen and he will be here," Afeiyodion said.

Adedipe, after briefly conferring with Fani-Kayode, said they would not mind waiting till 1.30pm.
However, the judge said she would prefer not to deliver the judgment under pressure as the day would have been far gone by that time.

Apparently to prove that the judgment was indeed ready, she displayed a typewritten material on her tablet, saying she prefers to read it out at a convenient time.

Fani-Kayode was accused of making a transaction exceeding N500, 000 on September 20, 2006, which was not done through a financial institution.
He was alleged to have accepted N2.1 million in cash, which was paid into his personal bank account by his aide, Supo Agbaje, while he served as Minister of Culture and Tourism.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the alleged offence which the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said contravenes the Money Laundering Act.

What's happening? Has Fani-Kayode re-joined APC? I hope he doesn't tow the line of Timpre Sylva. He should remain in the side of the masses and criticise the government of the day. The government of the Daura President grin

Meanwhile, I must say that Keyamo is losing steam. He's no longer the activist we used to know him for. Perhaps it's because he's now partisan. Too bad sad.

The incompetence of the EFCC under Muhammadu Buhari is legendary!

Some call me Barcanista, others call me Cramjones. Now it's Sincere9gerian grin grin grin. Keep the names coming cool. I won't deny any, I promise wink.

My advice: don't waste your time on me rather use your time to discuss with the APC mgt on how they can cure the Daura President of his dullardness grin grin grin

This is victory to democracy. kudos to our judiciary.
Change has really come. FFK is innocent and will be set free.
FFK a man of honour and high esteem with very good reputation just like his father who fought for Nigerian independence.
May God bless our judiciary.

This is nothing but pure laxity on the part of the prosecution.

Someone has to be punished for this. The earlier we started dispensing of these cases, the better for us.
