beneficiary” of the disbursement of the
slush funds withdrawn from CBN as he
allegedly received N840million

Former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode.
Sources within the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) say the agency
has launched a manhunt for a former
Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-
Kayode.
According to reports from
news men, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s name
appeared again while EFCC operatives were
grilling former Imo State Governor Achike
Udenwa over the disbursement of a huge
sum of money during the 2015 presidential
election.
The details of how the cash was disbursed
are: Fani-Kayode (N840million); Goodluck
Support Group (N320million); Achike Udenwa
and Viola Onwuliri (N350million); Nenadi
Usman (N140million); Olu Falae(N100m) and
Okey Ezenwa (N100million).
EFCC said Fani Kayode “has refused to
report to the agency for interaction.”
“All attempts by our operatives to locate the
whereabouts of Mr. Fani-Kayode have failed
because he has not only switched off his
phones, he has virtually gone underground,”
the source said, adding: “We will fish him out
wherever he is. Having been watch-listed by
the EFCC, he cannot hide for long,” an EFCC
source was quoted.
EFCC rated Fani-Kayode as “the chief
beneficiary” of the disbursement of the
slush funds as he allegedly received
N840million, paid in three tranches into his
Zenith Bank, Maitama branch account with
No.1004735721.
Revealing details of the transactions from
Mrs Usman company’s accounts to Fani-
Kayode and others, the EFCC source said:
“The first tranche of payment involving
N350million hit the account on February 19,
2015. Another N250milion was also paid into
the account on February19, 2015 while
N240million was similarly credited to the
account a month later; precisely March 19,
2015.
“The balance on this account as at 31st
December, 2015 was N189, 402.72.”
Overtime, Fani-Kayode has said that he got
the cash for campaign purposes and that he
rendered and account of how it was spent.
He never knew the source of the cash, he
said.
