The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has

obtained an order to retrieve all the documents it tendered as

exhibits in the 4.6billion naira money laundering trial of a

former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode.

The EFCC obtained the order from Justice Daniel Osiagor of

the Federal High Court in Lagos to enable it re-file the

charges before the Abuja division of the court.

The decision to take the case from Lagos to Abuja followed

the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which held that the Abuja

division of the Federal High Court, rather than Lagos, has the

jurisdiction to hear the case.

The EFCC charged Fani-Kayode alongside a former Minister

of State for Finance, Nenandi Usman; a former Chairman of

the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Yusuf

Danjuma, and a company, Jointrust Dimensions Nigeria Ltd.
