The former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has been released
on Friday after spending more than two months in the custody of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, his media adviser said.
Premium Times learn that Mr. Fani-Kayode was released Friday
evening, and that he was likely travel from Lagos where he was held, to Abuja
later tonight.
Mr. Fani-Kayode had been in detention since his arrest on
May 9, 2016, in Abuja.
He was later transferred to Lagos where the EFCC slammed a
17-count charge on him, accusing the former minister of misappropriating
government money.
After weeks in detention, Mr. Fani-Kayode was granted a N250
million bail on July 4, but he was still kept in custody pending his meeting
the requirements for his bail.
