Femi Fani Kayode in ‘fake medical report’ mess
Following the case between former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode and the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a fake medical report, the Kubwa General Hospital, on Wednesday, told the Lagos State Special Offences Court, Ikeja, that the minister was never a patient at the medical facility.
Recall that EFCC had arraigned the former minister before Justice Olubunmi Abike-Fadipe on 12 counts of forgery.
Fani-Kayode had been accused of forging medical reports to mislead the court and procuring documents under false pretences, contrary to Section 369 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
At the resumed proceedings on Wednesday, the Head of Medical Records at the hospital, Bassey Amah, while being led in evidence by the counsel for the EFCC, Rotimi Oyedepo, noted that Fani-Kayode did not have any record with the hospital.
He said: “On October 3rd, 2021, the Kubwa General Hospital received a letter from the EFCC to investigate the authenticity of a medical report on Mr Femi Fani-Kayode and the investigation by the hospital revealed that Mr Fani-Kayode does not have a record with the facility. The document is not authentic.”
“As I said earlier, Mr Fani-Kayode is not our patient and has no medical report in our hospital. The name is not even found there.
“The doctor that signed the medical report is not our doctor. The number is not our hospital unit number.”
