The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
on Monday re-arraigned a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, over
alleged money laundering.
Fani-Kayode appeared before Justice Rita
Ofili-Ajumogobia of a Federal High Court in Lagos, on a 47-count charge. He,
however, pleaded not guilty.
His counsel, Chief Ladi Williams, prayed the court
to allow him to continue with the bail granted him by Justice Ramat Mohammed,
who earlier handled the case.

Williams also prayed the court to allow Fani-Kayode
the liberty to travel abroad at will for medical checkup, as granted him by
Justice Binta Murtala- Nyako, who also had handled the case.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the
prosecution counsel, Mr Nelson Okedinachi, did not object to the applications.
Thus, Ofili-Ajumogobia held that the defendant would
continue with the bail granted him by Mohammed, before whom he was first
arraigned in December, 2008.
The judge adjourned the case to March 11 for
substantive trial. (NAN)
