Femi Fani-Kayode Denies Being Arrested By EFCC


Former Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has denied being arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

There was media report that the former minister who recently decamped to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, was picked up by the anti graft commission for forgery and money laundry.

But Chief Fani-Kayode in a Facebook post on Tuesday said he was never arrested but went to honour an invitation by EFCC and was granted bail on self recognition.

He wrote: “Just arrived at the George Hotel for dinner. I was never arrested by the EFCC. I was invited & I flew down to Lagos to see them.

“I arrived in their office at 2.00pm & left at 8.30pm. I was granted bail on self recognition. They were very polite & professional. Thanks be to God.”
