EFCC ‘Shocked’ By Femi Fani-Kayode’s Acquittal By The Court

The spokesperson of The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement, said the ruling by the Judge, Rita Ofili- Ajumogobia, was shocking.


A Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday acquitted Mr. Fani-Kayode of corruption charges, saying the EFCC failed to prove its “feeble case” against Mr. Fani-Kayode beyond reasonable doubt.


Mr. Uwujaren said, “The Commission is making effort to obtain a Certified True Copy of the ruling, to enable it respond appropriately after careful review of the judgment.”


The trial against the former minister by the EFCC began in 2008, before Justice Ramat Mohammed, for allegedly laundering about N100 million during his tenure as the Minister of Culture and Tourism and then, Aviation.
