The proposed arraignment of a former Minister for Aviation,  Femi Fani -Kayode, was on Tuesday, stalled due to the absence of Justice Sule Hassan of  a Federal High Court in Lagos.

Fani-Kayode ,who was also a Director of Media and Publicity in the campaign committee of  former  President Goodluck Jonathan,  is facing money laundering charges alongside  Nenandi Usman, Danjuma Yusuf and a company, Joint Trust Dimension Nigeria Limited

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), preferred a 17 – count charge against the accused persons bordering on unlawful retention, use and payment of money in the tune of N4.9 billion.

The case, which was fixed for arraignment of the accused persons, was  stalled following the absence of the trial judge, who is said to be attending an official function.

The accused, were however, present in  court but had to be taken back to  EFCC’s custody, following the judge’s absence.

A new adjourned date, it was gathered, would be communicated to parties.
