Ex-Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, on Monday said he has met the conditions necessary to facilitate his bail but still awaiting verification of some documents by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a statement released by his Media Adviser, Jude Ndukwe, the former minister who is standing trial on a 17-count charge of unlawful retention, unlawful use and unlawful payment of about N4.9 billion is eager to reunite with his family.
The statement reads: “Kindly be notified that Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has met all the conditions for his bail and the relevant documents have been duly filed and submitted at the Federal High Court in Lagos.
“We are now waiting for the EFCC to verify the documents after which he would be released. Despite the fact that he has been locked up for the last 62 days he remains confident, strong, healthy and in very high spirits.
“He misses his family very badly, especially his five month old son Aragon, and he looks forward to coming home to be with his family, friends and loved ones.”
