LAGOS, NIGERIA (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has been arrested by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos.

The former Minister was arrested Friday by the EFCC officials around 2pm outside the premises of a Federal High Court, along Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Fani-Kayode was some months ago arrested, investigated and arraigned by the EFCC over alleged N4.9 billion scandal, perpetrated during the tenure of immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan.

The PDP Chieftain earlier before his wife was held by the EFCC operatives in a commercial Bank, in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, this week, has pre-empted his re-arrest by the anti-graft body.
