The Appeal Court in Lagos has quashed the N4.6bn misappropriation of fund allegation against former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode and others.
Fani-Kayode disclosed this on Friday in a tweet, saying that the charges filed against him, former Minister of Finance Nenadi Usman and others had been quashed.
“Yesterday the Court of Appeal quashed the charges filed against me, the former Minister of Finance Nenadi Usman and others at the Federal High Court in Lagos by the EFCC for the misappropriation of 4.6 billion naira and money laundering.
“The case lasted for 7 long years. Glory be to God! This is the second time the Lord has done this and it is a testimony of His goodness and mercy.
“History records that in 2008 I was arraigned at the Federal High Court in Lagos and was prosecuted by the EFCC for the misappropriation of 19.5 billion naira.
“Again the case lasted for 7 long years. Thanks be to God, I was discharged, acquitted and cleared of all charges in 2015. Yesterday the Lord did it again,” Fani-Kayode said.
He added that on both occasions “His grace and mercy fought for me and my innocence spoke for me. God is awesome in battle and faithful to His own! He is my shield, my glory and the lifter of my head! Glory be to His name!”
