The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday evening expressed shock over the ruling of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court Lagos, acquitting Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, of the two-count charge of money laundering preferred against him by the Commission.
“The Commission is making effort to obtain a Certified True Copy of the ruling, to enable it respond appropriately after careful review of the judgment,” EFCC Head, Media & Publicity Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement in Abuja.
