A Federal High Court in Lagos on
Tuesday adjourned till November 11 the
trial of ex-Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode,
who is standing trial for alleged money
laundering.

Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of
Aviation, is being tried for an amended
40 counts bordering on money
laundering by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports
that the suit, which was earlier fixed for
the hearing of addresses of counsel, on
Tuesday suffered another adjournment.
No reason was, however, given for the
adjournment.
The court’s registrars only informed
parties that the suit had been scheduled
for a further date.
NAN also reports that the EFCC had
opened its case on March 10.

It called a total of six witnesses
including Investigating Police Officers,
bank legal officer, relationship officer
and a former aide to Fani-Kayode.
All witnesses had given testimonies as to
their relationship with the accused as
well as the manner of investigations
conducted on him.

The EFCC closed its case on July 10,
while counsel for the accused, Mr Wale
Akoni (SAN), informed the court of his
intention to file an application for a no-
case submission on behalf of the
accused.

The judge had adjourned the case to
take addresses from counsel.
Fani-Kayode was first arraigned
sometime in December 2008 before
Justice Ramat Mohammed on 47 counts.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge and
Justice Mohammed granted him bail in
the sum of N200m with two sureties in
like sum.

He was re-arraigned before Justice
Binta Murtala-Nyako following the
transfer of Mohammed from the Lagos
Division.

The accused was again re-arraigned
before Justice Ajumogobia on Feb. 11,
2013 after the transfer of Murtala-
Nyako.

On March 6, he was re-arraigned before
Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia following
the amendment of the 47 counts to 40
counts with the EFCC dropping seven of
the counts.

Ajumogobia is the third judge to handle
the case in the last five years.
In the charge, the accused was alleged
to have carried out transactions with
funds exceeding N500, 000 without
going through a financial institution.
