The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Fani-Kayode, along with former minister of State for Finance, Mrs Nemadi Usman were facing trial for alleged money laundering and diversion of N4.9 billion at a Federal High Court in 2018

The prosecution alleged that the former minister had allegedly brought several medical reports to stall the case.

On Dec. 17, 2021, the EFCC arraigned Fani-Kayode before the special offences court for allegedly procuring the execution of documents by false pretence; use of false documents, fabricating evidence and use of fabricated evidence.

Abike-Fadipe enquired from the EFCC counsel, Mrs Bilikisu Buhari about the amended charge the anti-graft agency had sought to file against the former minister.

Buhari, in her response, said that the EFCC had not taken any action on the amended charge.

Defence counsel, Mr Wale Balogun, also told the judge he had not filed an application to get a copy of the proof of evidence from the EFCC because the EFCC had not amended it charge.

The judge adjourned the case until Feb. 23 for commencement of trial. (NAN)
