The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission will on Thursday (today) arraign a former Minister of
Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, for allegedly receiving N26m from the
Office of the National Security Adviser.
Some fresh money laundering charges were
last month filed against Fani-Kayode by the EFCC before the Federal
High Court sitting in Abuja.
Fani-Kayode is the sole defendant in the
fresh charges numbered, FHC/ABJ/CR/140/2016, before Justice John Tsoho
of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The EFCC in the fresh case filed five
counts in which it accused the defendant of diverting N26m allegedly
received from the ONSA while Sambo Dasuki was in office.
The anti-graft agency also accused him
of handling the said N26m without going through financial institution as
required under the Money Laundering Act.
