The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has asked the Federal High Court, Abuja, to revoke the bail granted to the former Aviation Minister, Femi Family-Kayode.
EFCC’s Lawyer, Mohammed Abubakar, who prayed Justice John Tsoho to grant his plea, on Wednesday, said Fani-Kayode had continued to be absent in court for his trial lately.

Abubakar, urged the court to issue a bench warrant on the defendant, and also to summon his surety to show cause why the bail bond should not be forfeited.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the former minister was, on Nov. 10, 2016, admitted to N50 million bail bond with a surety in the like sum.
EFCC alleges Fani-Kayode diverted N26 million he had received from the embattled National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
However, the defence counsel, Mr. Wale Balogun, urged the court to dismiss the EFCC’s oral application.
As at the time of filing the report, the case is still on going.
