A Federal High Court in Lagos has fixed judgment for June 18, 2015, in the trial of a former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, charged with money laundering.
Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, gave the order while ruling on an application of objection filed by Fani-Kayode’s Counsel, Mr Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), challenging the competence of the charges.
Fani-Kayode, whose trial began in 2008 was accused on 40 counts of laundering about N100 million while he was the Minister of Culture and Tourism and later, the Minister of Aviation.

The laundered sum was, however, reduced to N2.1 million on Nov. 17, 2014 after the 38 of the 40 counts was dismissed for want of proof.

At the resumed hearing on Monday, counsel to Fani-Kayode, Mr Ifedayo Adedipe, urged the court to dismiss the two-count charge against the accused and also discharge and acquit him.

He told the court that the defence relied and adopted its final written address filed on April 7, and its reply on point of law to the prosecution’s written address, dated April 27.



Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, while fixing judgment for June 18, also granted an application to substitute Wale Ajisebutu with Ogbor Elliota as surety for Fani-Kayode.

Will he be found guilty or not? Let the Judge decide.

True na

He may not go to jail only if he can provide the evidence that Al Qaeda and ISIS sponsored GMB election campaign as he claimed in March.
If he can't provide the evidence then he deserve to go to prison.
Infact, it would be great to see him serve his jail term in Kosere prison in Ile Ife so that when he is doing his hard labour some youth will learn from his example to be discrete with the words that come out of their mouth.
Nnewi prison will be good for him too so that the young people there can ask him about Bianca.

The worst part for him is that PDP will not be in power by then. If he is really found guilty....hmmmmmmm I wonder ohhhhhhhh...

He's unfortunately gonna be a scapegoat. No judge will treat the first corruption judgement under Buhari with levity (e.g plea bargain) since it will set a precedence for subsequent cases including Diezani's.

You are right. The judge has the final say though!

FFK has marked down for KIRI KIRI maximum prison from the unset which was why he fought tooth and nail for is clueless pay master during the just concluded election !!!!

May you said not must, I just dey watch o.

Use your brains everyone,dismissing 38 of the 40 count charges is a precursor to being set free! He can't and he won't go to jail for a mere 2.1 million. Even if found guilty,it's not an offence punishable by imprisonment! He would just pay a fine and go on to enjoy his loot like Atiku,Amaechi,Tinubu,Fashola,Segun Oni,Emir Sanusi,Fayemi,Oyinlola,Sylva,Ikuforiji,Haruna Boni and the rest
