The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has set up a special team to interrogate Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State next week.
Fayose, who has been governor since October 16, 2014, will lose his immunity at exactly 11.59pm on October 15, 2018, thereby giving the EFCC the constitutional right to arrest, detain and prosecute him.
The governor is expected to report at the EFCC head office in Abuja to meet with the commission’s Director of Operations, Umar Mohammed, after which he will be grilled by a team of operatives.
Fayose is under investigation for allegedly receiving over N1.2bn from a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), through a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro. The money was allegedly handed over to Fayose during the build-up to the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State.
Fayose’s aide, Abiodun Agbele, and others had been arraigned by the EFCC but Fayose was excluded because of his immunity.
A source within the EFCC said, “We are expecting Fayose to show up at our office next week. He has nowhere to run to since he is under security watch and cannot leave the country through any land border, seaport or airport. We have also set up a special team of investigators that will interrogate him immediately after the expiration of his tenure.”
The governor is expected to be arraigned after investigations. Apart from the alleged N1.2bn fraud, Fayose is also under probe for alleged contract fraud.

ReplyDeleteEfcc if you don't want Nigerians to believe that all this is politically motivated, investigate alleged corruption of people like Tinubu, Bello of kogi, ajimobi, Fayemi, Aregbesola, Oshiomole, aRochas, Akpabio. Rotimi etc.
DeleteAlright
ReplyDeleteI wished him well.
ReplyDeleteI pray when APC governors or president lose they will be made to feel the pains of EFCC
I can picture a black Toyota hiace bus along side two hilux jeep all clean and dusted waiting for Tuesday next week to come. Spys are already on ground taking note of every thing happening around him. We will see how it will play out.
ReplyDeleteSPIES, not spys. Maybe it is better to dust the murder case on Fayochukwu’s head before he became governor. That is very important. Not just the stolen money. Falana would be happy to resume with the case.

ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they set up special team to interrogate Oshiomle after his tenure..... that one with his mouth like Ofiotor disgracing Edolites
ReplyDeleteAre you an illiterate? Did you read the post at all? Did Oshiomole partake in the Dasuki loot? I think you're the one shaming edolites.
DeleteKeep quite anon 10:09 before you shame your self. She never said oshiomole was part of the loot. She only asked that osho be probed.
Delete@Small chops no need explaining to the Ozour anon let it continue shaming it's lineage...
DeleteSo because Anenih escape, we no go search for Shina Rambo abi? Una logic no even make sense at all.
DeleteFayose needs his mouth clipped Abeg...and he is still fighting his own party; I never see this kind foolish arrogance before
ReplyDeleteWhile Musiliu Obanikoro has become sacred. Mtschewwwwwwwww incorruptible president indeed.
ReplyDeleteFace ur warrant
ReplyDeleteStupid EFCC, i can read the glee from their comments. Timpere, OUK, Amaechi, Obanikoro etc are all immune ba? Selective persecution.
ReplyDeleteOrji Uzo Kali's own surprised me. "Buhari is really fighting corruption"
DeleteBuhari is fighting corruption indeed
DeleteReal fighting corruption! Mmmmmttsshhhheewwww. The Obanikoro that shared the money isn't having a special team investigate him, rather his son is winning primaries to become a HOR Member
DeleteAnd where is the he Obanikoro That was Sharing money??? Immune I guess. Shame to APC
