N230m Bribe: Efcc Arraigns Fani-kayode Today by chidichris(m): 1:27pm On Dec 23, 2008 |
Vanguard Tuesday, 23 December 2008 THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will today arraign former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, before a Federal High Court in Lagos over alleged money laundering offences. Also, the Commission, yesterday, formally placed the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, on the watch list of the nation’s security service. The embattled former Minister of Aviation was recently picked by the EFCC over his alleged role in the alleged mismanagement of N19 billion Aviation fund, alongside his predecessor, Professor Babalola Borishade, among others. Sources told Vanguard that Fani-Kayode who was arrested yesterday, was flown to Lagos from Abuja to face a 40-count charge of money laundering, under Section 16, subsections a and b of the EFCC Money Laundering Act. Details of the charges to be read to Fani-Kayode in court today, indicate that, at least over 40 lodgements into his private accounts were found to have been illegal proceeds while in office. EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Babafemi, who confirmed the development, said operatives had spread their dragnets to apprehend the former minister’s accomplices, said to be at large at the time of his arrest. Vanguard gathered that the EFCC counsel will inform the court that some individuals, believed to be contractors during Fani-Kayode’s tenure as Aviation Minister, allegedly lodged into his personal accounts, sums in excess of N230 million. The commission’s lawyers will further aver that at certain stated dates, Fani-Kayode caused the monies to be paid into his private current account, held in a new generation bank account, located in Apapa, Lagos, as alleged bribe to favour them in the award of contracts. Meanwhile, the EFCC has formally written to the Nigerian Immigration Service, Customs, State Security Service, Police and Interpol, requesting them to arrest former FCT Minister, Mallam el-Rufai anywhere he is sighted, thus placing him on the nation’s watch list. Babafemi who confirmed the development said the former FCT helmsman would be arrested, should he try to slip through any of the nation’s entry points. El-Rufai was declared wanted, Sunday, by the EFCC after what it described as his failure to respond to its invitation to answer questions over alleged misappropriation of N32 billion proceeds from the sale of Federal Government houses in Abuja. |

landis:I hope the smiling faces are at your comments as the only bars his likes will be behind are those in their houses where they keep their drinks to celebrate their loot. Nothing concrete comes out of EFCC, they only know how to talk. |

the only thing we need as nigerians is prayers from all angles. as it is, i can sense confussion among them and it is only through this confussion that pdp will loose aso rock and then you will see the real colours of these men. all we need here is to pray that God will visit them with confussion and that 's all. we will be there. at least a couple of months back if someone tells ribadu that he will be on the recieving side, he will jsut laugh at the person so let us ask God to send more confussion in their camp. look at how confused obj was that led him to trust only yar adua and tomorrow yar dua will trust an enemy to that cartel and there will be fire on the mountain. let us watch and pray. |

People from other parts of Nigeria that are/were corrupt are thanking their stars for not being from the south west. But Yar'adua will not rule Nigeria forever. What about the people who offered the bribe ? I'm sure Yar'adua and Waziri are less concerned about them. |
