The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday released the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, from detention after more than two months in the custody.
The news of his release was disclosed by Fani-Kayode’s media adviser, Jude Ndukwe.
Jude Ndukwe added that that Fani-Kayode may likely travel from Lagos, where he was held, to Abuja later tonight.
Fani-Kayode had been in detention since his arrest on May 9, 2016, in Abuja.
He was granted a N250 million bail on July 4, but was still kept in detention depending on when he meets the requirements for his bail.
Fani-Kayode is facing a a 17-count charge bordering on misappropriation of Government’s funds.
