The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has seized the passport belonging to a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.
The former minister, who served as the Director of Publicity of the Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 presidential election, was arrested on Monday last week for receiving N840m.
The money, which Fani-Kayode admitted to receiving, was said to have emanated from the account of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The ex-minister had, however, insisted that he did not know that the money emanated from the CBN because he was assured by the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party that the money was sourced from private individuals.
A spokesman for Fani-Kayode, Mr. Jude Ndukwe, confirmed to newsmen that the ex-minister had submitted his passport to the EFCC.
Ndukwe said the EFCC had given the ex-minister bail conditions but had refused to release him despite meeting the conditions.
He said, “The EFCC gave him two bail conditions. The first condition was that he would hand over his passport while the second condition was for him to provide two sureties. The two sureties must be at least directors in the civil service and must have properties in AMAC (Abuja Municipal Area Council).
“Five days after meeting the conditions, the EFCC has refused to release him.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Until the subsidy issue is over FFK will remain detained. PMB and his team of incompetents and inept frauds will not allow an articulate fearless gadfly out there reminding them of their own stance a few years indeed months ago. They are now eating the humble pie. They refuse to open their mouths to say GEJ you were right we were wrong. They mouth about Kworoption but they flout their own laws . They have resorted in Kidnap for ransome to fund 2019. PMB method of governance is downright criminal.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you expect from this govt before? Our nomad believes he is above the law. Someone that said it on live tv that he cannot release "certain" ppl. Their approach is to hold people on spurious allegations/stories then try to foist something on them or force a confession on anything. Disgusting!!
ReplyDeleteBuhari is on a rescue mission to save Nigeria from thieves like Fani-Kayode and his friends.
ReplyDeleteNigerians must exercise patience because the road to freedom is full of potholes.
I am sorry for you. Keep believing on Buhari rescue mission until it will be too late for you to be rescued from his fangs
DeletePlease go and find your thinking cap and put it on...
DeleteThat is if you have one.
U too get sense.
DeletePatience to what end? Death? Please !! Patience is only possible when there is a clear plan, a goal, feedback and good communication. All I see is gestapo governance and exponential increase in confusion, suffering and death. Patience my ass !
DeleteSS the Buharimaniac troll is here again.
