Corruption: Judge Adjourns Fani-Kayode’s Trial

Justice Olubunmi Abike-Fadipe of the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja on Friday adjourned the trial of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, due to the failure of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as earlier indicated.

Justice Abike-Fadipe, who expressed displeasure over the development warned the EFCC to sit up and prosecute the case diligently and stop wasting the time of the court.

The anti-graft agency had arraigned Fani-Kayode before the court on a 12-count charge of procurement of a “fabricated” medical report and use of the false document.

The anti-graft agency had specifically accused Fani-Kayode of procuring one Dr Ogieva Oziegbe to issue the fake medical report, which he allegedly tendered before the Federal High Court, where is currently standing trial before Justice Daniel Osiagor for money laundering.
