Thank God we still have sensible criminal lawyers in Nigeria like Ozhekome and myself.

Why freeze his account when you can't prosecute him because of his immunity as a Governor?

Buhari's Government is setting a lot of very bad precedent and hardly follow the Rule of Law.

dokiOloye:
When will EFCC freeze Amaechi,Fashola and Fayemi's accounts or even investigate them?
Are there not numerous petitions against those ppl?
We're slowly sliding into a dictatorship where all opposition are viciously silenced.

AlPeter:
madam stop trying too hard to be silly na shuo. Even the Izekhome abi odekhome was obviously trying to be smart by hammering on prosecution when we know FayosE wasn't being prosecuted YET. In other climes Fayose plus his Immunity should be chilling in a cell by now

mu2sa2:
Hahaha, forget ozekhome. The guy himself knows he is turning the law upside down. He has to anyway, to place himself in a position to grab the brief from Fayose. The brief would probably fetch him nothing less than 100 million naira. Btw, get it clear: the supreme court has settled the issue - a governor may be investigated over a criminal allegation but cannot be prosecuted while in office. The freezing of fayose'a account is part of a criminal investigation to gather the evidence to prosecute him when he leaves office. The evidence being used against Saraki now at cct was partly gathered when the crook was in office as governor looting with reckless. abandon.

Oklander:


Lol @ bolded!

So because he has immunity, he is free to carry out any shady deals?! You call yourself a sensible lawyer?!!! smh

It's an investigation, if found wanting, they can simply wait till his immunity expire and kick his ass to jail!

worldman:
When rotimi ameachi was the governor of rivers state he was also investigated by E.F.C.C foyose should keep quiet

And Fayose happens to be the only Governor in Nigeria that deserves to be investigated right? Continue.

Nigeria's anti-graft body the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has opened up why the account of Buhari's fiery critic was frozen.

Although section 308 of the 1999 constitution gives immunity to serving governors, the EFCC spokesperson Mr. Wilson Uwujaren says such immunity does not stop a sitting governor from being investigated.

The EFCC says it decided to freeze Gov. Fayose account because it has sufficient evidence that some suspicious lodgments were traced to the account
His words: “It is true that we have frozen Governor Fayose’s account in connection with an ongoing investigation. We will soon release the details of our findings to the public.

“We froze the account because Fayose has no immunity against investigations.

“Let me clarify that the 1999 Constitution does not grant immunity to governors or public officers against investigation.

“The governors and others enjoying the immunity clause in Section 308 cannot be prosecuted. Therefore, Fayose cannot stop EFCC from doing its job.”

Asked if the amount in the Post No Bill ( PNB ) account was up to N1.3billion as being speculated, Uwujaren said: “Certainly, some amount was frozen in Fayose’s account but I cannot say the exact amount till tomorrow (today).”

A top official, who spoke in confidence, said: “It became necessary to freeze the account following clues on alleged suspicious lodgments.

“We will release the facts soon to Nigerians to appreciate the extent of our investigation.”

Governor Fayose has been having a running battle with the Federal Government over his anti-Buhari stance.

Recently, the governor was placed under security watch by the Federal Government and told point blank that he could not travel out of the country unless he seeks a clearance from the Department of State Security.

Many see this latest incident - freezing a sitting governor's account as one of the moves to muzzle the dissenting voices - a said pointer to the fact that Buhari is running a dictatorial government.
