Seized Billions of Cash: See the Copies of the Lawsuit Amaechi Filed Against Fani-Kayode & Fayose's Aide


Rotimi Amaechi

The immediate past governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi is seeking huge financial compensation from two public figures including a former Minister of Aviation on the grounds of maligning his image.

We reported earlier today that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, wrote to a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, and an aide to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, Lere Olayinka, citing character defamation over the allegation that he (the minister) owns the $43m (about N13bn) seized by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) in Ikoyi, Lagos. Amaechi, in letters dated April 14, 2017, written on his behalf by his lawyer, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), to the two men, said his client had been defamed by the claims of the two men, and is demanding N500m from Fani-Kayode as compensation for the alleged malicious posts by the former minister on his twitter handle on April 14.
He is also demanding two separate sums of N750m totalling N1.5bn from Olayinka as compensation for the alleged “malicious” posts by the Ekiti State Governor’s spokesperson on his facebook timeline and twitter handle on April 14. In his letter to Fani-Kayode, Fagbemi said it was wrong for the former minister to assume that Amaechi owned the flat and the money found in it. Below is the letter in full;
