The Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja has cleared former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode of forgery charges. The EFCC had accused him of falsifying medical reports to delay his ongoing N4.9 billion fraud trial. However, Justice Olubunmi Fadipe ruled that the prosecution failed to establish a case against him.
The EFCC alleged that Fani-Kayode used fake medical reports from Kubwa General Hospital, Abuja, but hospital officials denied issuing them. A witness claimed he paid for forged documents, but the judge noted that key witnesses, including those who allegedly received money from him, were not presented in court.
As a result, the judge ruled in favor of Fani-Kayode’s no-case submission and discharged him of all charges.
