OPERATIVES of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), yesterday besieged the Abuja home of the former Minister
of Aviation and Director-General of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidential Campaign
Association, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode and kept watch for about 10 hours hunting for
the former minister.
In a letter of invitation dated May 6, 2016, which was
signed by the Acting Head, CTGI/Pension Fraud Section Mr. Mohammed Umar Abba on behalf of the
Executive Chairman, the attention of the former minister was required by the Commission
in connection of public funds allegedly diverted through him alongside others.
“This Commission is investigating a case of Criminal
Conspiracy, Fraud and Money laundering involving Joint Trust Dimension Ltd in
which you featured prominently.
“In view of the above, you are requested to kindly
report for an interview with the undersigned. The request is made pursuant to
section 38 (I) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act 2004 and section 21 of Money Laundering
(Prohibition) Act, 2011”, EFCC statement indicated.
Fani-Kayode albeit still in his hideout has reacted through
his facebook timeline to the actions of the anti-graft agency indicating his
willingness to report to the commission.
“Today the EFCC invited me to come to their office on Monday. I have their
letter. I agreed to be there. Now they have surrounded my house. The letter of
invitation was served this morning and it was dated 6th May. They said I should
report on the 9th.
“Can someone please tell me why they are at my gate?
They can’t even wait because they want to detain me so badly and keep me away
for the weekend. I never refused their invitation. Why all this? I leave them
to God,” he added.
However, a source who spoke on condition of
anonymity in the anti-graft body indicated that there’s a security alert that
Fani-Kayode has perfected plans to disappear from the country leading to the
invasion of his house by the operatives.
