The Nigerian Police has given a
new date to former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, to honour its
invitation.
This is following the former
Minister’s request for extension of time.
The police have now directed
Fani-Kayode to report for questioning on September 4, 2018 in respect of a
petition against him.
The Force in a letter dated
August 23, 2018 and signed by CP Habu Sani of the Inspector-General of Police
Monitoring Unit, conceded to the two demands of Fani-Kayode’s lawyers by
agreeing on a new date.
It also said that the invitation
to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP chieftain was in respect of criminal
complaints by a law firm, Apex Solicitors.
The letter read, “I refer to your
letter No KACCL/OR/372/18 dated 27th August, 2018 wherein you requested for
rescheduling of appointment in respect of the above subject.
“Graciously the interview is now
rescheduled for Tuesday the 4th day of September, 2018 by 1200hrs.
“You are however to note that,
the invitation is in respect of criminal complaints lodged by Apex Solicitors
(Legal Practitioners and Consultants) and your cooperation in this regard is
expected, please.”
The police had in a letter
titled, “Conspiracy, Criminal Defamation, Inciting Publication, Injurious
Falsehood and Conduct Likely to Cause a Breach of the Peace,” asked the former
Minister of Aviation to appear for an interview on Tuesday.
But Fani-Kayode’s lawyer, Kayode
Ajulo and Co., had responded that the invitation letter was “too vague and
ambiguous” and that he could only honour the invitation by September 4 or
September 5.
