Despite
reportedly meeting the bail conditions set by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Femi Fani-Kayode will still be
detained for another 30 days as he's been pictured walking with EFCC
officials in Lagos.
Erstwhile Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, few days ago,
decried that despite meeting the bail conditions set by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), he is still being held by the
anti-graft agency.
The embattled former director of media and publicity of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign organisation, was moved from Abuja to Lagos last week Friday "for further interrogation over fraud charges."

We reported it here yesterday
that the nation's anti-graft agency, EFCC, obtained a 30-day detention
warrant from an Ikeja Magistrate to extend the detention of Femi
Fani-Kayode.
In a Tweet accompanied with photos posted by SaharaReporters on
their official page, Femi Fani-Kayode was pictured walking with EFCC
officials in Lagos yesterday after an appearance at the court.
Femi Fani-Kayode who served as the Director of Publicity of the
Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 presidential election, was arrested on
2 weeks ago for receiving N840million.
The money, which Fani-Kayode admitted to receiving, was said to
have emanated from the account of the Central Bank of Nigeria. The
ex-minister had, however, insisted that he did not know that the money
emanated from the CBN because he was assured by the leadership of the
Peoples Democratic Party that the money was sourced from private
individuals.
