Femi Fani-Kayode is in a good mood at the moment as the Federal High Court quashed the allegation of money laundering to the tune of N4.6billion naira filed against him.
Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had charged Fani-Kayode alongside former finance minister Nenandi Usman in 2008.
Also charged was Yusuf Danjuma, a former Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), and a company, Jointrust Dimensions Nigeria Ltd.

EFCC preferred a 17-count charge of N4.6billion money laundering against them in the case that was initially handled by Justice Mohammed Aikawa.
They had each pleaded not guilty to the charges and were granted bails.
The former minister took to his Twitter handle and wrote:
Yesterday the Court of Appeal quashed the charges filed against me, the former Minister of Finance Nenadi Usman and others at the Federal High Court in Lagos by the EFCC for the misappropriation of 4.6 billion naira and money laundering.
The case lasted for 7 long years.
Glory be to God!
This is the second time the Lord has done this and it is a testimony of His goodness and mercy.
History records that in 2008 I was arraigned at the Federal High Court in Lagos and was prosecuted by the EFCC for the misappropriation of 19.5 billion naira.
Again the case lasted for 7 long years.
Thanks be to God, I was discharged, acquitted and cleared of all charges in 2015.
Yesterday the Lord did it again.
On both occasions His grace and mercy fought for me and my innocence spoke for me.
God is awesome in battle and faithful to His own!
He is my shield, my glory and the lifter of my head!
Glory be to His name! 🙏💪💥👍💯😊
