Femi Kayode Discharge Of Money Laundering Allegations

Femi Fani Kayode has been discharged of money laundering charges levelled against him by the EFCC, the federal High court sitting in Lagos cleared him.

The presiding judge, Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia,​ said the charges brought against Fani-Kayode was 'feeble' and EFCC failed to provide 'copious evidence' that linked him to money laundering.

The former aviation minister Fani-Kayode's trial began in 2008 when he was accused of laundering about N100 million while he was minister of culture and tourism and later Aviation minister. The money was later reduced to N2.1million in Nov. 2014 after the court dismissed 38 of the 40-count charge levelled against him. Above is a photo of him during a prayer session by friends and family.
