Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has plans to arraign former
aviation minister Chief Femi Fani-Kayode for an alleged 1.5bn naira
fraud. Also in the list of people to be arrested on wednesday 15th
June, 2016 are: a former Minister of Finance- Senator Nenadi Usman, a
firm- Joint Trust Dimensions Limited; and one Jimoh Yusuf for an
alleged 1.5bn fraud.
A source at the anti-corruption agency revealed that Fani-Kayode
and others will be charged on 17 counts bordering on money laundering
and fraud.
"We have filed charges against
Fani-Kayode, Usman, Yusuf and a company, Joint
Trust Dimensions Limited. Yusuf was the
signatory to the account of Joint Trust Dimensions
Limited. They will be arraigned before a Federal
High Court in Lagos this week."
Punch source.
Previously, Femi Fani-Kayode had been arrested on an alleged 4bn
naira fraud. The money was trace to have originated from the account
of the National Security Adviser, and then sent to Joint Trust
Dimensions Limited where it was distributed to PDP chieftains. Out of
the sum, Fani-Kayode is alleged to have received about N900m. Others
who received cuts from the money include Achike Udenwa- a former Imo
State governor, Chairman of Social Democratic Party and a few others.
All these have risen as a result of the strict transparency and
anti-corruption principles of the President Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
