N840m Campaign Funds: Fani-Kayode Still With EFCC

A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, was Monday grilled by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), at the anti-graft agency’s headquarters in Abuja.
The development followed an invitation for “interview” with operatives of the anti-graft agency, over N840 million campaign funds.

The former minister, who was the Director of Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Organisation for the 2015 presidential election, alighted in front of “Idiagbon House”, in a convoy made up of a Toyota Camry, a Range Rover Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) marked GWA 182 SJ, as well as a white Hilux van with security escort.
Fani-Kayode, who spotted a blue kaftan dress, looked cheerful and unruffled, as he exchanged pleasantries with a few people, before entering the building.
Though, the EFCC sent a letter of invitation dated May 6 for Monday’s appearance, Fani-Kayode had cried out last Friday, that Operatives had laid siege to his Aso Drive, Asokoro Residence in Abuja.
‘New Telegraph’ investigation revealed that as at 7:10pm Monday, the former Aviation Minister was still a guest of the EFCC.
