EFCC obtains warrant to keep Fani Kayode for another 21 days

Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode was on Monday ordered to be remanded in Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC custody by a Lagos State Magistrate court sitting in Ikeja for another 21 days.
The EFCC had brought an application before the court seeking to remand Fani Kayode in custody to enable it conduct further investigation into the alleged N1.5 bn fraud leveled against him pending when he will be brought before a regular court.

After hearing the arguments by the lawyers representing the anti-graft agency, Mr. A. N. Anana and Fani- Kayode’s lawyer, Wale Balogun, the presiding Chief Magistrate, Mrs Bola Osunsanmi granted the remand application.

The court subsequently granted the request and ordered that he be kept for 21 days.
