The embattled spokesman of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has been granted bail this Thursday morning in the sum of N50m, and one surety in like sum by Justice James Tsoho, of the federal high court, sitting in Abuja.

Before his arraignment on Thursday, he has been in the custody of the EFCC for 21 days after he was arrested? in Lagos and transported to Abuja.

According to TheCable News, in his ruling on Thursday, Tsoho held that the offence Fani-Kayode was alleged to have committed was a bailable one, and therefore, granted the defendant bail as requested by Afedayo Adedipe (SAN), his counsel.

However, he ruled that Fani-Kayode be remanded in prison until he perfected his bail condition.

Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is prosecuting Fani-Kayode on five-counts of money laundering to the tune of N26m.

The anti-graft agency is also prosecuting him on 17-counts of money laundering ?to the tune of N4.9bn at the Lagos division of the federal high court.

The judge fixed December 14, for the commencement of trial.
