Fani-Kayode steps out of court — and EFCC arrests him

Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

According to PUNCH, Fani-Kayode was arrested by EFCC operatives around 1.55pm on Friday just as he stepped out of the federal high court on Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos, where he stood trial over his alleged involvement in a N4.9bn fraud case.

This is the second time in five months that the spokesman of the 2015 presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will be arrested.

Earlier in the week, Fani-Kayode alleged that the EFCC was plotting to re-arrest him and keep him in detention.

During his last arrest, he was in detention for 67 days.
