Politics › BREAKING: Fani Kayode Arraigned In Court By The EFCC by SAMBATLAN(op): 3:18pm On Jun 28, 2016

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Femi Fani-Kayode before a Federal High Court in Lagos today, June 28. . Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s name reportedly appeared again while EFCC operatives were grilling former Imo State Governor Achike Udenwa over the disbursement of a huge sum of money during the 2015 presidential election. The details of how the cash was disbursed are: Fani-Kayode (N840million); Goodluck Support Group (N320million); Achike Udenwa and Viola Onwuliri (N350million); Nenadi Us

man (N140million); Olu Falae(N100m) and Okey Ezenwa (N100million). Operatives of the EFCC laid siege on the Abuja residence of the former minister of aviation. The EFCC operatives alongside many mobile police officers surrounded the Aso Drive residence of the former minister. It was not clear why the security operatives surrounded the house but sources said that there were plans to arrest the former minister before the date he is expected to report to the commission for “discussion”.

The former minister also wrote on his Facebook page: “Today the EFCC invited me to to come their office on Monday. I have their letter. I agreed to be there. Now they have surrounded my house. “The letter of invitation was served this morning and it was dated 6th May. They said I should report on the 9th. “Can someone pls tell me why they are at my gate? They can’t even wait because they want to detain me so badly and keep me away for the weekend. I never refused their invitation. Why all this? I leave them to God.” Following the siege of his house and invite by the anti-graft agency, chief Kayode was held back in the EFCC custody. The spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Deji Adeyanju said that ex-aviation minister was being kept in an underground cell in the EFCC. Fani-Kayode was on May 10 reported to the EFCC for questioning.

“When we got to EFCC at around 10am, they kept us waiting for about 2hrs before attending to us. Then a Director met us and said the reason why we invited you is because of campaign funds & another petition against you. Then Fani-Kayode was taken for interrogation. His 2 lawyers & I were allowed to stay with him.” “The Director of Finance Nenadi Usman asked me to open an account specifically for my Directorate so she can fund the directorate. I did,” Fani-Kayode said afterwards. “She said she will not give anyone cash for transparency reasons. I opened an account. Monies were transferred into that account. “The money she transferred to me was to run our directorate. We used all the money for an effective campaign. We did a wonderful job.

“I am very proud I was Director of Media & Publicity of the campaign. At the end, we did a report of all expenses & submitted to the PCO.” Fani-Kayode was given an administrative bail in which two sureties must be serving directors in government agencies. After over a month of being held in detention, Fani Kayode’s fiancée spoke out on why he is still being held by the EFCC. Over a month after former Aviation minister and spokesman for the Goodluck Jonathan campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, was arrested by the EFCC, his fiancée Precious Chikwendu, revealed why he’s still being held by the organisation.

Fani-Kayode who was arrested on May 9, for fraud-related issues, has been held in detention for over a month and was said to be set for arraignment before Justice Sule Hassan of the Federal High Court in Lagos. Fani-Kayode who is to be arraigned alongside former finance minister Nenadi Usman, reportedly filed for bail application through his lawyer, Ahmed Raji (SAN). According to the Nation, Fani-Kayode’s fiancée, Precious Chikwendu, revealed he has told the EFCC all he knows about the PDP campaign funds. She reportedly said: “All the monies paid into his account were from private entities and they were judiciously used to prosecute the PDP 2015 presidential campaign. ‎He was granted administrative bail with onerous conditions. The said bail conditions were met on Thursday, the 12th day of May, 2016, yet the complainant/respondent (EFCC) has refused to release the defendant/applicant till date.” She also said Fani-Kayode was once interrogated in her presence, and there were no petitions written against him.

Politics › Account Freezing: Court Summons EFCC, Puts Fayose’s Mandatory Order In Abeyance by SAMBATLAN(op): 2:35pm On Jun 28, 2016

By Emmanuel Ani on June 28, 2016

Efforts made by Governor Ayodele Fayose to reverse the restriction order placed on his accounts frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) in Zenith Bank Plc was temporarily halted on Tuesday as the Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti, deferredruling on the mandatory order being sought to reverse the directive.
The EFCC had last week Tuesday allegedly frozen Fayose’s account numbers 1003126654 and 9013074033 in Zenith bank for alleged money laundering running into N1.2 billion being money allegedly taken from the $2.1 billion arms fund in the office of the former National Security Adviser, Col. Bello Dasuki.

Fayose through his lawyer , Mr Mike Ozekhome(SAN), had through an ex parte order deposed to on the 24th of June, 2016 by Bimpe Olatemiju sought a mandatory order unfreezing the accounts belonging and operated by him pending the determination of his interlocutory application.

Joined in the suit are the EFCC (1st defendant) and Zenith bank (2nd defendant).The order was supported by 18-paragraph affidavit , a lone Exhibit, which was a letter issued to Governor Fayose by Zenith bank confirming that the EFCC actually placed a restriction order on the accounts and a written address.

He also sought the leave of the court for the service of the originating summons on the defendants in their various addresses outside the jurisdiction of the court as contained on the order papers, supported by 17-paragraph affidavit.

Ozekhome said the order was brought pursuant to order 26 rule 8(1) of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rule 2009 and Section 44(1) of the 1999 constitution which gives the court the discretionary powers to adjudicate on such matter.

Citing the case of Abdulaziz Nyako Vs EFCC to buttress his position that the anti-graft agency has no power to freeze Fayose’s account without valid court order, Ozekhome added that the action was a flagrant negation of the Section 308 of the constitution, which conferred absolute immunity on the government against civil and criminal procedure.

He said it was appalling that the EFCC could play ostrich to these valid constitutional requirements and took cognizance of the African Charters on Human and People’s Rights before taking the punitive stand against Fayose, adding that these infractions had rendered the action unconstitutional, wrongful ,null and void.

But delivering his ruling, Justice Taiwo Taiwo, averred that he quite understood that the applicant(Fayose) enjoys immunity and that the court can adjudicate on this matter as canvassed by the counsel to the plaintiff, but he pointed out that the relief he basically sought was a mandatory order of the court .

“I quite agree that the applicant has immunity pursuant to provisions of the constitution, but it is glaring that the application he is requesting for is a mandatory order to undo what had already been done and the court can’t abdicate its duty under this circumstance.

“I am of the opinion that this mandatory order is better granted with the interlocutory order being sought through an application pending before the court , because the applicant has filed all papers to this effect.

“I hereby order the 1st and 2nd respondents to appear before this honourable court on July 4, 2016 and show cause why the order should be refused.

“This is not a refusal of the order, I have not refused it, but I only put it in abeyance which I said without prejudice to what will be the position of the respondents .

“But a leave is granted for the service of the defendants with the originating summons in their respective addresses as contained on the order papers”, the Judge ruled.

While giving his submission, Ozekhome said Fayose was being persecuted for being a lone voice against perceived arbitrariness of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.

The senior lawyer added that many of Fayose’s dependants, including his 76-year old mother have been made to pass through untold hardship by freezing the accounts of their benefactor and breadwinner .

He said plurality of opinions remains the bedrock of democracy and this dissenting opinions from Governor Fayose shouldn’t have been seen as coming from an enemy of this present government.

Ozekhome told the court to take cognizance of awarding cost against EFCC if the order is eventually granted.
