The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today Thursday Feb 16th re-arraigned former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, on a 47-count charge of money laundering before a Federal High Court in Lagos .
The former Minister who was first arraigned before Justice Ramat Mohammed of the same court on December 23, 2008, was re-arraigned before a new judge, Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako today because of the re-assignment of the case by the Chief Judge following the transfer of Justice Mohammed out of Lagos.
He is been accused of laundering various sums of money totaling N230 million through some of his aides, his wife, Regina Fani-Kayode and daughter, Remilekun between August 2006 and March 2007.
Femi Fani-Kayode has pleaded not guilty to all the counts and Justice Murtala-Nyako ordered that he should continue to enjoy bail on the same terms granted by the former court.
