Fani-Kayode rearraiged in Lagos High Court by EFCC

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode a former minister of aviation, was rearraigned today before a Lagos division of the Federal High Court.

Fani-Kayode was rearraigned alongside Nenadi Usman, a former minister of state for finance on a 17-count charge of money laundering and alleged diversion of N4.6 billion.

Others include one Danjuma Yusuf and a company, Joint Trust Dimension Nigeria Limited.

The defendants pleaded not guilty before Justice Rilwan Aikawa, a new judge.

The judge had taken over trial after Fani-Kayode applied for the previous one, Muslim Hassan, to recuse himself from the trial on the grounds that he was the EFCC officer who signed a criminal charge filed against him.
