EFCC Vs Fani-kayode: What Happened In Court On Friday by silverbirdng(f): 6:00pm On May 31, 2019 |
The trial of former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, was stalled at the Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday. This was due to the absence of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain. Fani-Kayode’s lawyer, B. F. Ajudua, said he was “indisposed”, but did not state openly what was ailing the former minister. “We apologise for the absence of the second defendant. A letter to that effect was filed,” he told the court. Fani-Kayode, Director of Publicity of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidential Campaign Organisation in 2015, is on trial with former Minister of State for Finance, Mrs. Nenadi Usman, for alleged money laundering. They were charged with former Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) Chairman and ex-Chairman of Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Mr. Yusuf Danjuma, and a company, Jointrust Dimensions Nigeria Limited. The quartet were accused of violating the Money Laundering Act by indirectly retaining N300million, N400million and N800million, all proceeds of corruption, according to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The prosecution said they allegedly committed the offence, to which they pleaded not guilty, between January 8 and March 25, 2015 ahead of the 2015 general elections. At the trial on May 14, Fani-Kayode’s counsel had opposed the prosecution’s bid to tender an extra-judicial statement he made. Usman and Yusuf had also disowned their statements, contending that they made them under duress. The defence counsel, Messrs Ferdinand Orbih (SAN), Norrison Quakers (SAN) and Clement Onwuenwuenor, urged the judge to order a trial-within-trial to test the voluntariness of the statements. But the prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, maintained that the defendants made the statements voluntarily, adding that there was no need for a trial-within-trial. Justice Rilwan Aikawa had adjourned till yesterday for ruling on the statements’ admissibility, but Fani-Kayode’s absence stalled it. The judge adjourned until June 24 for ruling and possible trial-within-trial. https://thickmatch.com/efcc-vs-fani-kayode-happened-court-friday/ |

The EFCC has only been able to grow teeth, bark and bite the north central. I am yet to see (stands to be corrected, no insult, abeg una) any high profile Yoruba man or core north behind the bars since 2015. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

What is the essence of charging a prominent politician who is an unrepentant thief to court. Charging this kind of people to court in Nigeria is a waste of time since nothing will come out of it. This is just another drama. 1 Like |

psucc: You're right. The EFCC is known to be corrupt and selective in its arrests, indictments and prosecutions. Northerners are the biggest thieves in this country and they're responsible for the abysmal messy situation of the country. But how many of them have been arrested or sucessfully prosecuted? None! I don't understand why other regions of this country would allow, the incompetent, illiterate, terrorist North to dominate politically! The yorubas, especially, piss me off big time for being minions of the North! How could a region (Yorubaland) filled with educated people, subject themselves as slaves to the illiterate North? There's are reasons why there have never been an Igbo EFCC or ICPC chairman! Because Igbos actually try to do their job! Remember what happened to the former Chief of Army Staff, Azubuike Ihejirika (an Igbo man), who killed a lot of Boko Haram terrorists! In fact during his time, boko haram feared him! Due to his effectiveness, Northern crooks conspired to remove him, and even falsely accused him of "sponsoring" Boko Haram. Imagine an Igbo christian who has been killing muslim terrorists, being accused of sponsoring the same muslim terrorist group he has terminating! It makes absolutely no sense! Unfotunately, the North "owns" this country! |

DedeNkem:go and read history and stop saying trash on the internet, this is the 1st time yorubas are in alliance with the north, they are no slaves, from the 1st republic to the 2nd the alliance had always been between Ṣe and the North... So tell me who the true slave is? 1 Like |
