Seized $43million: Amaechi demands N1.25billion compensation from Fani-Kayode, Fayose’s spokesman

Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi has filed a N500million suit against former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode and Governor Ayodele Fayose’s media aide, Lere Olayinka.

The two men accused Amaechi of being the owner of the $43million, which operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), discovered in a Lagos apartment last week.

In separate letters to Fani-Kayode and Olayinka, the counsel to Amaechi, Lateef Fagbemi, insisted that the allegations levelled against his client were false.


Fagbemi said his client had never owned a home in Lagos and that the “misleading information” was capable of tarnishing Amaechi’s reputation.

“The story as uploaded by you is to our knowledge, blatantly false, malicious and is aimed at impeaching the credit of our client, a two-time speaker of the Rivers state of house of assembly, a two-time governor of Rivers state and current minister of the federation.

“Our client neither owns the house where the cash was found and your story and claim are unfounded,” the letter read.

Fagbemi also said the publication constitutes a libel and is defamatory “aimed at impinging our client’s character and credit in the eyes of Nigerians and foreigners.”


Apart from the demand for an apology from the duo to be published in five national dailies and their Twitter handles, Amaechi specifically asked for the sum of N500million from Fani-Kayode “as compensation for the malicious and defamatory claim”.

He threatened that the amount might increase, if Fani-Kayode fails to address the situation as expected.

Olayinka was asked to also apologize in five national dailies and pay the sum of N750 million “as compensation for the malicious and defamatory claim”,n on his Twitter handle.

Amaechi must vomit more loot to lessen his pot belly – Fani-Kayode’s aide fires back

Jude Ndukwe, Special Adviser on Media to former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has attacked the camp of Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as the controversy over $43m found in a Lagos apartment continues.

Ndukwe in a statement dared Amaechi to speak on the issue, adding that he must cough out more loot to free his pot belly.

“We read with amusement the insulting words of one of Rotimi Ameachi’s aides about Chief Femi Fani-Kayode,” it reads.

“A man who had to appoint his own psychiatrist as his Commissioner of Health when he was govermor because he kept breaking down during cabinet meetings?“In the first place one must ask, is Rotimi Amaechi a human being? Everyone knows he is an animal.

“A man that shits in his pants every time that he hears FFK’s name? Do you expect the great FFK to respond to a creature like Rotimi who he once described as ‘a pot-bellied creek Haramite who comes from the gutter’.

“We will not respond to the little errand boy that says he is Amaechi’s spokesman. The rat is too small.“A dirty stinking swamp rat like Rotimi Amaechi has the nerve to send his boy to insult FFK?

“We have bigger and better things to do. We are waiting for Amaechi himself to open his stinking mouth. Let us hear from him and not from his errand boy.

“The man is a cultist and a killer. He is also a serial traitor who spends more time smoking indian hemp and drinking kai kai than on servicing his wife.

“The Odilis made them human beings after they washed their toilets and sucked their arses for many years yet in the end both Rotimi and his wife betrayed them.“He was a houseboy to Gov. Peter Odili and his very ugly wife was also a housegirl to Odili’s wife.

“Rotimi is nothing but a greedy peasant, gutter snipe and shit heel. His stomach is so fat that he farts in his dreams and when he does so he puts the lights out.

“He needs to free his belly; he must cough up all the money that he stole from Rivers state when he was governor rather than trying to fool anyone.

“He should also stop the rubbish he is doing at Transport. He owns the USD 43m and everyone knows it. Attempts to cover up for him will fail”.
