The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reportedly arrested former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode.
The former minister is said to have been arrested and taken to the Lagos zonal command of the EFCC over allegations of fraud — including forgery.
According to sources, FFK arrived at the Lagos office of the anti-graft agency at about 1pm on Tuesday in the company of his lawyer.
Fani-Kayode has been having a running battle with EFCC, he is standing trial on an alleged N4.6 billion fraud before Justice Daniel Osiagor of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.
The EFCC had charged him alongside a former Minister of Finance, Nenadi Usman, and two others on 17 counts of conspiracy, money laundering, and fraud.
At the last sitting of the court on October 13, the judge had imposed a cost of N200,000 on him due to his failure to appear before the court for his re-arraignment following the transfer of the former trial judge, Justice Rilwan Aikawa.
He was ordered to pay the fine or stand the risk of having his bail revoked after he failed to appear before the court for his re-arraignment.
