Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has written the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for detailed information on the alleged criminal conspiracy for which he has been invited for questioning.
The police had in a letter dated August 20 invited Fani-Kayode for questioning for alleged acts of “conspiracy, criminal and inciting publication.
Fani-Kayode responded via a letter addressed to the office of the Inspector-General (I-G) of Police, Ibrahim Idris, dated August 27, asking for an extension of time for him to appear for questioning.
In his reply, Fani-Kayode’s through his team of lawyers led by Kayode Ajulo, said, “We have our client’s instruction to inform you that he will honour the said invitation and possibly respond to questions on all facts which may be limited to his knowledge.
“However it is essential to unequivocally state that the invitation letter under reference appears vague and ambiguous in its form. Your office for reasons best known to them did not mention the name (s) or person (s) complaining against our client and on what particular subject matter his presence is required.
“Therefore in view of the short notice apparent in your letter under reference, our client is constrained to politely request for a rescheduling of the interview date and also that he be furnished with essential particulars of the purpose of his visit to your office, so as to adequately prepare for the said “interview.”
The letter further explained that Fani-Kayode requested the extension of time, partly because of his current engagement at the ongoing national conference of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA).
The letter was signed by his lawyers, Raphael Oyewale and Idunnu Ajina.
