A witness in the ongoing trial of Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minster of Aviation, has narrated how he allegedly paid N820, 000 for fake medical reports.
The ex-minister, who is standing trial for alleged
corruption, had reportedly forged medical reports to evade appearing in court.
Testifying before a special offences court in Lagos, ABIDAT,
a media practitioner, narrated how she was called by Fani-Kayode to
procure the medical reports for different amount.
She said Fani-Kayode gave her N120, 000 for the first forged
medical certificate, N150,000 for the second forged medical report, N250,000 to
procure the third forged medical report and N300,000 for the fourth forged
medical report.
She also told Justice O.O Abike-Fadipe that Fani-Kayode
dictated what should be the content of the medical report should contain.
Fani-Kayode is facing 12 counts before Justice Abike-Fadipe,
brought against him by the EFCC, following his alleged use of forged medical
report(s), tendered before Justice Daniel Osiagor of the Federal High Court
sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, where he is being prosecuted by the EFCC for an
