FORMER Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He was arrested today at a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, and moved to a nearby EFCC office.
Fani-Kayode, who was in court over his forgery trial, was said to be walking out after the matter was adjourned till January 24, 2021, when he was approached by an EFCC investigator.
He was subsequently arrested and moved to custody, a week after his earlier arrest.
An EFCC investigator, Shehu Shuaibu, confirmed the ex-minister-s arrest, saying he was being quizzed over false documents.
Recall that Fani-Kayode, had last week denied arrest but admitted to have been granted bail on self-recognition.
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 2.00 pm & left at 8.30 pm. I was granted bail on self-recognition. They were very polite & professional. Thanks be to God”.
