Fani-Kayode is currently standing trial for an alleged fraud to the tune of N4bn.
On page 8, Melaye is seen posing with human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) and a few notable protesters.
The picture is juxtaposed with another in which Melaye is seen posing in several luxury cars including a Mercedes Benz, a Bentley, a Porsche, a Rolls Royce and a Lamborghini. The pictures were captioned, ‘Dino’s metamorphosis- a lover of exotic cars’.
The EFCC adds, “Below is a panoply of the lavish lifestyle and panoramic metamorphosis of a man, who in the days of yore, posed as the voice of the voiceless but whose chaotic and scandal-plagued time in the corridors of power portrays a man adorned with the beard of narcissism driven by the insatiable thirst for the water of self-adulation and acknowledgement of his burly voice.”

The EFCC also mocks Melaye for launching a book titled, ‘Antidotes for Corruption’ last month.
