The EFCC had questioned Femi Fani-Kayode, Aviation yesterday in
connection with campaign funds of the last administration, it was learnt.
Fani-Kayode was questioned at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja by
detectives.
"We still have him with us, we have not finished with him," a
source told newsmen last night. He added
that Fani-Kayode may likely spend the night in custody.
Fani-Kayode honoured EFCC invitation to explain his alleged connection to
ongoing investigations into N840 million received before the 2015 presidential
elections.
Fani-Kayode, 2015 Media and Publicity Director of the former President
Jonathan Campaign Organisation, in a statement said he was served the letter of
invitation Friday morning.
He had said: "Today (Friday), the EFCC invited me to come to their
office on Monday. I have their letter. I agreed to be there. Now they have
surrounded my house."
"The letter of invitation was served this morning (Friday) and it was
dated 6th May. They said I should report on the 9th. Can someone please, tell
me why they are at my gate? I never refused their invitation. Why all
this?" Fani-Kayode said.
In January Fani-Kayode denied he received the sum of N1.7 billion from
former President Goodluck Jonathan or former National Security Adviser (NSA),
retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki as claimed in some quarters.
In a statement, the former aviation minister said as the director, media
and publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, he only received
money on behalf of the Directorate of Media and Publicity from private
individuals and companies during the election campaigns.
