Fani-Kayode was picked up outside the premises of the Federal High
Court on Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos, where he is facing money
laundering charges before Justice Muslim Hassan.
He was picked up soon as the court adjourned his trial till
November 14 and 15, 2016.
He had earlier, through his lawyer, Mr. Wale Balogun, sought the
protection of Justice Hassan from the EFCC.
Balogun had pleaded with the court to direct the EFCC prosecutor,
Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo, to prevail on the operatives of the anti-graft agency not
to arrest his client.
But Oyedepo told the court that he was not privy to any plan to
arrest Fani-Kayode.
He said all he could
undertake was that Fani-Kayode would not be re-arrested in respect of the case
before Justice Hassan, where he had already been granted bail.
