A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has been
arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Lagos.
Fani-Kayode was said to be under investigation for alleged
forgery and manipulation of documents.
Our correspondent learnt that the ex-minister, who rejoined
the All Progressives Congress in September, was brought to the Lagos Zonal
Office of the anti-graft agency on Tuesday.
The details of the allegations against him were sketchy but
the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed Fani-Kayode’s arrest by
operatives.
“I think something like that happened,” he said and declined
to comment further.
Fani-Kayode had been having a running battle with the EFCC
for some time and he was once remanded for 67 days in 2016 alongside a former
minister of finance, Nenadi Usman.
The duo and two others were facing a 17-count of criminal
conspiracy, fraud and money laundering to the tune of N4.9 billion.
They denied the allegations, and each of them was later granted N250 million bail.
