EFCC Wants Me to Refund N840m Without Fair Trial - Fani-Kayode Cries Out in Custody

June 16, 2016
   Femi Fani-Kayode has alleged that he is being pressured by Economic and Finan�cial Crimes Commission to refund N840 million without fair trial and has applied for a bail.

In a motion for bail filed by Ahmed Raji (SAN) at the Federal High Court in Lagos, embattled former PDP spokesman, Femi Fani-Kay­ode, yesterday, asked the court to ad­mit him to bail 24 hours after he was arraigned on a 17-count charged by the Economic and Finan­cial Crimes Commission (EFCC), adding that he is also being pressured by EFCC to refund N840 million without trial.
 
Fani-Kayode told the court that he would be ready and willing to provide a responsible surety(ies) as may be re­quired by the court as a condition(s) for the grant of his application.
 
He argued that under the Administration of Crimi­nal Justice Act (ACJA), bail is more relaxed as all offences are bailable “and in the class of offences charged, it is the prosecu­tion that has a burden to show why bail should be refused. More so, under the Act, all offences can be compounded by plea bargain. So, it is not about imprisonment any longer.”
 
Fani-Kayode further argued that one of the co-accused in the charge, a former Min­ister of Finance, Senator Nenadi Usman, who alleg­edly received the money from government and paid Fani-Kayode, wrote that she did not know the money was from govern­ment. So, how would Fani- Kayode know?
 
EFCC slammed Fani- Kayode and Usman with a 17-count charge for fraud and money laundering.
 
Fani-Kayode was arrest­ed for allegedly receiving N840 million during the presidential campaign of former president Good­luck Jonathan.
