Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Apo, Abuja, on Wednesday dismissed a fundamental human rights enforcement suit filed by a former Minister of Aviation Mr. Femi Fani-Kay‎ode, seeking an order releasing him from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Fani-Kayode, the spokesperson for the then Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential Campaign Organisation‎ for the 2015 election, ‎had filed the suit following his arrest by the EFCC on May 9, 2016 with respect to criminal allegations relating to diversion of funds meant for arms procurement to political campaigns.

The anti-‎graft agency arraigned him alongside a former Minister of Finance, Nenadi Usman, who was the Director of Finance of the campaign organisation‎ and others for money laundering before a Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday.

Justice Olukayode Adeniyi delivering judgment on the suit filed by Fani-Kayode to challenge his detention by the EFCC, held that the legal action lacked merit.

The judge held that the detention was not illegal since it was backed by an order of court.

Justice Adeniyi, however, faulted ‎the practice by the EFCC of arresting and detaining a suspect for the purposes of investigation.

Then let him to proceed to the Biafran Court Of Appeal....we will not take it.....

Pls ffk should be released, he did nothing wrong.

Too bad


Tho I don't sympathise with him with the way he tried to ridicule the Ikemba of Nnewi's Family.

Enjoy your stay sir

This our current judiciary itself lacks merit. You know the practice of EFCC detaining a suspect while still investigating is wrong yet you throw away the case for lack of merit.

Mazi Fanichukwu Kayode in serious mess,the entire body of Christians in Nigeria reject the judgement.

Eeeyah, the look on FFK's face was that of worry and tiredness. Unfortunately for him, the law has to take its course.

If he has knowingly or unknowingly involved himself in some wrong doings, let him face the music. At least he was enjoying all the loot before he was detained.

Enough of defending these set of people who care less about us and only know we exist when election is around the corner.

Even Buratai himself should be investigated.

YOU MUST VOMIT ALL THE YAMS

...one thing is FFK should stop wasting his limited resources and concentrate more on how he's going to defend his case...

Wait, he thought he was gonna get a different judgement?

Well, I paid off the judiciary well before hand!

PDP, y'all are dead!

I am IBN DULLARDEEN - The Dictator!

This is just wrong!

I hope Buhari knows everything is time

Today is yours tomorrow can be anybody's

God bless the judge

He has nothing to defend

Tough days for ffk. He will definitely seek revenge cos those persecuting him are guilty of what they accuse him for or worse...

Including buhari. All Nigerian public office holder are looters!

Buhari has set a dangerous precedent. Cos when next another party takes power they will jail all those who campaigned against them.

Sorry, this particular case doesn't fall into that category.

Learn to read and comprehend contextual meaning.

what up zombieees? Wount u speak sense to your master to stop the impunity and injustice? When they finish with ffk and co, and left with no one to imprison they will come for u. Maybe by then they will be no one left to speak for u too. Why detain someone before trial?

What is the name of that his albino girl friend? Oh! Precious Chikwendu. I'm offering her a FWB relationship pending the time FFK returns home in the year 2053.

[size=18pt]FFK is a criminal. He will rot in prison, with that his big mouth. [/size]

What a pity, FFK never saw this coming..... Fanichukwu Kayodogwu take heart.

You never see anything. Nemesis is catching up with you...

FFK is on his own. Never challenge the government when u know ur hands are soiled. This is what majority in PDP don't know. They think they can eat their cake and still have it. He will rot in jail unless he returns his loots. Foolish man.

Femi,where are your supporters?
Na only you waka come?
Saraki and others should learn from
Femi Fani-kayode,the supporters that
are following them to court are doing
so because of the office they are occupying
now,moment they are out of the office,
they are on their own.

Good for him................he should learn to respect eLDERS

Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide. FFK you must face justice

PublicAssurance:
[size=18pt]FFK is a criminal. He will rot in prison, with that his big mouth. [/size]

Big mouth, yes
Criminal, no!

If he is a criminal so is tinubu ameachi atiku buhari obj etc!

good for him

I don't see any wrong doing, who sponsored APC campaign and why are they not arresting those that handle APC campaign money

PassingShot:
Great

Detaining for investigation purpose is great?
I'm sure by the time this practice becomes widespread because we feel its not our turn today so who cares it would have been too late for us as a nation.
Very soon the police will hold you in detention because they want to investigate you for a funny case

If the EFCC did it by themselves you'd say Injustice.
Now the EFCC have legal backing, you're still implying Injustice.


I give up.....
