A Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday held that the fiat to prosecute Femi Fani-Kayode resides personally with Mr Festus Keyamo.

Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister, is answering charges brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The EFCC is prosecuting the case through its lawyer, Mr Festus Keyamo, on an amended 47-count charge of money laundering.

Delivering judgment, Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia held that the fiat of the Attorney General of the Federation, was personally delegated to Keyamo, and to no other.

The court also held that the power cannot be re-delegated.

She then adjourned the case till Jan. 27, for continuation of trial.
