Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has been Cleared of Money Laundering Charges. He was discharged and acquitted of money laundering charges leveled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos today, July 1, 2015.
Mr. Fani-Kayode’s lawyer, Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), in his argument, maintained that Mr. Fani-Kayode made no confession to the EFCC, adding that the anti-graft agency failed to show that Mr. Fani-Kayode actually accepted a cash sum of N1million as alleged.
Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia freed FFK after holding that ‘the prosecution case is feeble’ and has failed to prove the allegations against the accused person beyond reasonable doubt.
