Former minister facing corruption charges, Femi Fani Kayode
is said to have sold off family legacy defined as his father’s house for the
sum of N100m.
Here are the details.
The Director of Media and Publicity of Goodluck-Sambo
Campaign Organization, Chief Olufemi Fani-kayode has sold his late father’s
multi-million naira legacy mansion in Lagos to a serving military army general.
Yemojanewsng.com can reveal authoritatively.
The mansion situated on four plots of land on Marine Road Apapa, Lagos, was said to be the favorite and the living house of late Chief Remilekun Fani-kayode[SAN], while he was alive. But, curiously, Femi Fani-kayode has sold the family house to a serving Major-General [names withheld]. However, the one-time minister of aviation claimed that he only put the house on lease. ” I just put the house on lease… as I can’t maintain two houses’’ the father of five girls told some friends.
Family insiders revealed that the Marine road, Apapa mansion
of the late Premier of the defunct Western region, which had served as the
family house of the Fani-kayodes, even before the demise of the Chief Remilekun
Fani-kayode and Deaconess Adia Adunni Fani-kayode, was sold for a pitiful sum
of N100million, by Femi, who is popularly called FFK. Although, he has
repeatedly claimed that he leased out the mansion.
One of our sources disclosed that Femi Fani-kayode couldn’t
have gotten the right to sell or lease the house, as he’s not the first son or
first born of the third designated Senior Advocate of Nigeria, late Chief
Fani-Kayode. ‘’My brother, Femi is the third son and fifth born of Fani Power
[Chief Fani-kayode]… His mother had five children, while the senior wife had
four children. Do you know that Femi’s elder brother, Akinola, himself a
lawyer, and also the first son of Chief Remi Fani-kayode was driven out of the
house by Femi,” the source revealed.
The highly informed family source further made it known to
us that apart from Rotimi Fani-kayode, the immediate elder brother of Femi, who
died in 1989 in London of AIDS related complications, he still has Akinola, Mrs
Aina Ogungbe and Mrs Remi Nana Akuffo as his elde brother and sisters.
We gathered that since he sold the house, he has been staying in Eko Hotels and Ikoyi Hotels anytime he came calling on Lagos, as he has no other house of abode in the city center of Lagos.

To make matter worse, our source revealed that the money he
made on the alleged sale of the house was expended on the training of his
former 24 year old girlfriend, Vivian Agbaza in London University. Apart from
sponsoring the young lady who was younger than his first daughter [ Folake] and
of the same age with his second daughter [Temitope] to study for her Master’s
degree, the remaining portion of the money was frittered on frivolities. Femi
Fani-kayode, a source insisted, has no means of livelihood that he only lives
on friends and government patronage.
