Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has been acquitted and discharged of the charge of medical forgery levelled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to report, Fani-Kayode was acquitted today, February 4, 2025, by a Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos.
In her ruling, Justice Olubumni Abike-Fadipe held that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against him.
According to the court, Fani-Kayode had no case to answer as the EFCC did not link him to the offence.
Abike-Fadipe added that the prosecution failed to present the defendant’s associates who collected money from him or the lawyer who claimed that the defendant had instructed his law firm to take the medical reports to the Federal High Court.
