A former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, on Tuesday, denied any intention to enter into plea bargain with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in respect of the N26m fraud charges instituted against him before a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Some media reports (not of The PUNCH) had stated that the ex-minister’s lawyer, Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN), had indicated to Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday that his client was considering the option of a plea bargain.

Raji, who newly took over the ex-minister’s defence, had on Monday sought an adjournment of the case to “get familiarised” with the file, adding that “I believe there are other options rather than a full trial.”
