Fani kayode to spend 3 more weeks in jail for fraud

The EFCC also obtained a fresh remand order from a Lagos Magistrate’s Court to hold the ex-minister for another 21 days.

Fani-Kayode, who was the spokesman for the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation was arrested on May 9, 2016 for allegedly receiving N840m during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election.

According to the EFCC, the money which Fani-Kayode admitted to receiving, emanated from the account of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The anti-graft agency also froze Fani-Kayode’s bank account and seized his passport in the course of its investigations.
