An Ikeja Special Offences Court has threatened to issue a bench warrant against former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, over his failure to appear for his alleged forgery trial.
The threat of arrest was issued on Wednesday by the presiding judge of the court, Justice Olubumni Abike-Fadipe, who said the constant non-appearance of Fani-Kayode for the trial was a clear contempt of court.
The former minister is currently standing trial on a 12-count charge bordering on use of false documents, use of fabricated evidence, procuring execution of documents by false pretences, and fabrication of evidence.
