The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday arrested a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, over allegation of forgery and manipulation of documents.
The Guardia reports that the former minister was arrested yesterday to answer questions on possible forgery of hospital documents to hoodwink the court handling the case against him on money laundering with a view to stalling hearing.
However, the former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has debunked claims that he was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
According to him, he was not arrested and that he only responded to an invitation by the EFCC to appear.
He said he was granted bail on self-recognition by the EFCC, saying they were very polite and professional
He said: “Just arrived at the George Hotel for dinner. I was never arrested by the EFCC. I was invited & I flew down to Lagos to see them.
“I arrived in their office at 2.00pm & left at 8.30pm. I was granted bail on self recognition. They were very polite & professional. Thanks be to God.”
