Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has debunked claims that he was arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Yesterday, newsrooms and Social Media was alive with reports of Chief Fani-Kayode’s arrest by EFCC for alleged forgery, especially when the anti-graft agency’s Spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that he was arrested for forgery and manipulation of documents.
Without giving further details, Uwujaren had said: “Yes it’s true. It has to do with forgery.”
However, Fani-Kayode said he was not arrested and that he only responded to an invitation by the EFCC to appear.
He said he was granted bail on self-recognition by the EFCC, adding they were very polite and professional.
According to Fani-Kayode in a Social Media post: “Just arrived at the George Hotel for dinner. I was never arrested by the EFCC. I was invited & I flew down to Lagos to see them.
“I arrived in their office at 2.00pm & left at 8.30pm. I was granted bail on self recognition. They were very polite & professional. Thanks be to God.”
