The anti-agency said the fresh allegation was different from the case of the N800m which the former Minister of Aviation allegedly received as campaign fund from the $2.1bn meant for procurement of arms.
It said this on Thursday before a High Court of the Federal High Court in Apo, Abuja, where it also disclosed that fresh petition received against the former minister by its Special Task Force in its Lagos office was what prompted it to move him from Abuja to Lagos.
Counsel for the EFCC, Mr. Salisu Majidadi, appeared before Justice Olukayode Adeniyi, on behalf of the commission to oppose a fundamental human rights enforcement suit filed by Fani-Kayode, seeking an order releasing from the custody of the anti-graft agency.
But Fani-Kayode’s lawyer, Chief Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), who earlier argued his client’s suit, insisted that the commission having failed to present the fresh petition as exhibit before the court, showed there was no proof that there was any ongoing investigation of his client.
The judge after hearing both sides on Thursday fixed June 29 for judgment in the suit. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

This is a calculated attempt by not only the APC lead government but also the judge in this case to keep Chief Fani Kayode in detention or else how would one describe the judge adjourning the matter till 29/6/2016 when the three weeks the EFCC is asking for would have elapse by then. for me even if he gets bail or release on the said day, i would not have seen justice to have be done to him.
