Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), counsel to Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation and director of Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, yesterday told an FCT high court, Apo, Abuja that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) asked his client to produce $1million as part of his bail term, which he has not be able to meet.

Adedipe during the hearing on the violation of fundamental rights suit filed against the EFCC told Justice Olukayode Adeniyi that Fani-Kayode was offered bail by the EFCC but he has only been able to meet part of the conditions.

Adedipe alleged that the remand of Fani-Kayode by the EFCC is a violation of his fundamental human rights and his detention since May 9, 2016 is unconstitutional as he is being held without being charged for financial crimes against the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He said, “The constitution anticipates that a man maybe arrested but not necessarily arraigned as provided in the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA).”

He submitted that it is violating on constitutional requirement that Fani-Kayode has not been charged to court but being held in detention that there is provision under the constitution or any law for the actions of the anti-graft agency.

Adedipe further told the court that the EFCC said Fani-Kayode was being investigated in connection to a company called Joint Trust Dimension through which over N800m was allegedly transferred to the account of Fani-Kayode.

“The applicant (Fani-Kayode) has never said he did not receive the money (N800m) in question. He was the Director of Publicity for the Presidential Campaign Organisation of the former president Goodluck Jonathan who paid him the money,” Adedipe said.

Responding, counsel to the respondent EFCC, Salisu Majidadi, informed the court that a remand order from a Magistrate Court in Lagos has been attached to a better and further affidavit and written address put forward before the court which they would rely on.

“Bearing in mind the constitutional requirement of remanding the applicant, a remand order was acquired from a Magistrate Court on May 10 in Lagos which is attached to the affidavit,” he said.

Justice Olukayode, after hearing the arguments and submissions of the both counsels adjourned till June 29, 2016 for judgment in the fundamental rights suit against the EFCC by Fani-Kayode.

“Judgment in this original motion is hereby reserved till 29 June 2, 2016,” the judge held.

They ate our yam..they must vomit it. Anyway anyhow, our yam must come back to us. You took N800m..get bail $1m. You collected N300m from stolen money..you get bail N500m... I'm okay with this. Next time, they will think twice before sharing in stolen money.

Make EFFC keep FFK until he pays $1m...in fact, no more noise from that parrot

Good to know that he acknowledge that he received the money. Let him return it.... And why does he need to emphasis that Goodluck paid him the money? I thought PDP paid him.... Meanwhile your babe is outside enjoying herself... You might want to ask her where she was Monday night... clowns

hahahaha ...thank you for the morning laugh,bro...life is hard enough.....

If some of these people are not used as examples, others won't learn.

Collect the naira equivalent at (#1000-$1) before you let the niqqa go

I think buhari has turned to kidnapping and asking for ransome anyway is a way

They wouldn't hold him this long if there wasn't evidence that he actually has money


references includes Olisa Metuah , 600M bail bond and 400M in cash by his family


FFK must have been really special for him to have collected upwards of $1M from PDP Campaign




Shyt just got real

dasuki dollars no reach im side

If he can't afford it, he should remain and rot in the prison
Who cares?

If EFCC will always invite u just to remand u, then many who would be invited will prefer to be a tompolo!

One thing I know for sure is that as long as pmb is still the President, FFK "will never" meet his bail demands.

He can't be released to continue his opposition

Post No Bill..!

fiizznation:
$1million, isn't it a little bit too much? Like where do they expect the man to get this kind of money from? Unless the EFCC are not telling us something

800 million naira collected by him I'd more than 2 million dollars..

PresidentT:
Good to know that he acknowledge that he received the money. Let him return it.... And why does he need to emphasis that Goodluck paid him the money? I thought PDP paid him.... Meanwhile your babe is outside enjoying herself... You might want to ask her where she was Monday night... clowns

Should he return money he used to do a job?

After meeting the bail condition, FG be like Fani-Kayode returned 1million dollar loot...

When w are talking about opposition i don't think we are referring to thieves like Fanikayode abeg. We want credible people oh.

useless wailing zombies get mouth dey no get money to help bail their parrot

Yes. He has to return it. Just the same way others returned theirs. They didn't even spend a dime on the "job".

soulpeppersoup:

PresidentT:

How do you know he did not spend it or was all the PDP advert on televisions, radio, billboards etc free.

Hope you will return your salary too when the money is traced to where you work?

Someone brought an action for Fundamental Rights Enforcement, which can even be brought ex-parte and the Judge is waiting till June 29 to rule on the application?


FFK must hear it before he comes out. I hope today's men of power are not already making overtures at his pretty babe and son(yes! Some men marry women with their kid(s) )

Ome EFCC wicked O

I Doubt this. What's One million dollars

Again I ask... Fani, how is Kayode??

I've not been hearing you guyz speak from both sides of the mouth lately.
