Justice Daniel Osaigor of a Federal High Court in Lagos, on Wednesday, ordered a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, to pay N200,000 for not making himself available for re-arraignment for alleged money laundering.<\/p>\n

Osaigor said that he had gone through the court\u2019s file and noted five different letters by Fani-Kayode seeking adjournment on same medical grounds.<\/p>\n

The court, consequently, ordered that he should pay the sum or risk revocation of his bail.<\/p>\n

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had charged Fani-Kayode alongside a former Minister of State for Finance, Nenandi Usman.<\/p>\n

Also charged is Yusuf Danjuma, a former Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, and a company, Jointrust Dimentions Nig. Ltd.<\/p>\n

The EFCC<\/a> preferred a 17-count charge of N4.6 billion money laundering against them before Justice Mohammed Aikawa.<\/p>\n

They had all pleaded not guilty and were granted bail.<\/p>\n

Trial had begun before Aikawa and witnesses being led in evidence before the judge was transferred out of the Lagos jurisdiction of the court.<\/p>\n

The case was consequently assigned to Osaigor and the defendants scheduled for re-arraignment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

When the case was called on Wednesday, Mrs Bilikisu Buhari, announced appearance for prosecution.<\/p>\n

Mr I.J. Ogechukwu appeared for the first defendant (Usman), Mr B.F. Ajudua appeared for the second defendant (Fani-Kayode) and Y. Olabode appeared for the third and fourth defendants.<\/p>\n

Buhari then informed the court that on July 15, prosecution asked the court to adjourn the matter for re-arraignment of the defendants.<\/p>\n

She told the court that on Oct. 11, prosecution received a letter from the second defendant informing them that he had been given bed rest.<\/p>\n

Buhari told the court that letters by the second defendant had become numerous, saying that he wrote them to avoid attending court sittings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever he doesn\u2019t want to attend court, this is the type of letter we get,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

However, Fani-Kayode\u2019s counsel, Ajudua, told the court that although his client\u2019s illness was recurring, he had attended court regularly.<\/p>\n

He urged the court to grant an adjournment in favour of his client.<\/p>\n

At this point, the judge decided to go through the court\u2019s file and discovered that Fani-Kayode sought a similar medical excuse five times.<\/p>\n

The judge asked his counsel to take one of two options: revocation of Fani-Kayode\u2019s bail or to imposition of N200,000 fine to be paid before the next adjourned date.<\/p>\n

The counsel chose the fine option.<\/p>\n

In a short ruling, the judged court held: \u201cFrom my records, the second defendant had written to the court five times, excusing his trial on medical grounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

He mentioned the dates the letters were written as Feb. 1, 2018, May 30, 2019, Nov. 24, 2020, March 21, 2021 and Oct. 9, 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second defendant is to pay a cost of N200,000 before the next adjourned date, as the recurring medical excuse has been a pattern that slows this trial,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He adjourned the case until Nov. 30 for re-arraignment of the defendants.<\/p>\n

The EFCC has alleged that the defendants committed the offences from January to March 2015.<\/p>\n

In counts one to seven, the EFCC alleged that they unlawfully retained over N3.8 billion which they reasonably ought to have known formed part of proceeds of stealing and corruption.<\/p>\n

In counts eight to 14, the defendants were alleged to have unlawfully used over N970 million which they reasonably ought to have known formed part of corruption.<\/p>\n

In counts 15 to 17, the EFCC said that Fani-Kayode and one Olubode Oke, who is at large, made cash payments of about N30 million, in excess of the maximum amount allowed by law.<\/p>\n

Besides, Fani-Kayode was alleged to have made payments to one Paste Poster Co (PPC) of No. 125 Lewis St., Lagos, in excess of the maximum amount allowed by law.<\/p>\n

The alleged offences contravene Sections 15 (3) (4), 16 (2) (b), and 16 (5) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
