Money laundering: Court Frees Fani-Kayode

A Federal High Court in Lagos has dismissed the money laundering charges levelled against a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The trial judge, Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, in a judgment on Wednesday, freed Fani-Kayode after holding that “the prosecution case is feeble” and had failed to prove the allegations against the accused person beyond reasonable doubt.
