I think you are the lazy one here. They have carried out their own investigation but still need to ask him questions. Remember, the law empower them to so within the ambit of the law.
You said for the past 3 years. Were they able to ask him questions during that period? All these corrupt elements defender

Well, he already packed a bag so………

Z4Gardell:
I really wonder why people are saying that corrupt officials should be charged to courts...really want one judge to defend them and get them released like Saraki eh!!! As for me it is barbaric for anyone to use public funds as his personal funds so I believe the person should be given a jungle justice just like a common thief because that is exactly who they are... common thief ... they should be burnt alive

A man who has Tinubu as a political ally would never earn my respect as an anti corruption crusader.... Buhari's so called anti graft warfare is a farce gone too far. It's merely a tool to repress the opposition - when i start seeing EFCC detain top members of the APC then we can start taking them serious.

Fayose just stand your ground...if they don't have tech to obtain concrete evidence...Make sure you don't give it to them

For those supporters of corruption shouting take him to court, is that how they take someone to court? You need to build a water tight case before filing any charges now efcc can proceed and build that case. From this administration and moving forward it shall not be business as usual and they people will be better for it.
It's such a shame that this is the same person some people idolize, people wey una steal together Don enter plea bargain and are returning money, polutry scam is still there, only God knows what he was up to between 2014-18.

Do they need to detain him for two weeks to ask him questions? The way you Nigerians abuse fundamental human rights is appalling to say the least

U na well done sir. Are you planning to start your own family here in Nigeria? Are you planning to live and work in this country?
And to disappoint you, EFCC already have their evidences against Fayose, detaining him is just to allow them cross referencing him.

emperorlaqrin:



just shut up there . in as much as I don't support corruption but efcc should not be partial with it. Efcc as showed how partial they are in the handling of corruption matters. This people have been investigating this man even before he ended his tenure as governor. If efcc as something tangible to probe him on they should have charged him immediately with or without him writing a statement. This man is treated this way just cos he his outspoken to the present govt.

Lol. You guys would just pull lies from your ass and believe it

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has obtained a remand order from a Federal Capital Territory High Court to keep former Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State for two weeks, The PUNCH can confirm.

The remand order, it was learnt, is subject to renewal which implies that Fayose could spend longer than two weeks in custody.

A reliable source said, “We have obtained a court order to hold Fayose for at least two weeks pending investigation. He could be released earlier or later than two weeks depending on the outcome of investigation.”

Fayose is under probe for allegedly receiving N1.3bn from the Office of the National Security Adviser through a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, during the build-up to the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State.

However, sources within the commission revealed to The PUNCH that Fayose was also under probe for allegedly receiving kickbacks from government contractors through his aide, Abiodun Agbele, who is currently standing trial for fraud.

The EFCC source said, “We have many cases against Fayose being handled by three different teams. We cannot just arraign him immediately. We want to do a thorough job before taking him to court.”

Meanwhile, the lawyer to Fayose, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), told The PUNCH on the telephone that if the EFCC failed to release the former governor on Thursday (today), the commission would be sued for breaching Fayose’s fundamental human rights.

Ozekhome said the EFCC began investigating Fayose over two years ago and that he wondered why the agency would decide to hold him for over 24 hours.

He said the commission could not force Fayose to write any statement as he reserved the right to remain silent.

The senior advocate said any move to obtain a remand order would amount to illegality because the Supreme Court had made that clear.

The lawyer said since Fayose’s accounts had been frozen and his properties seized by the commission, there was nothing for the ex-governor to tell the EFCC as the matter was already in court.

Ozekhome added, “His lawyers will consider approaching the court for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights if he is not released on Thursday. Section 35 and 36 of the constitution are clear on this.

“He is not a flight risk. He willingly submitted himself to the EFCC even earlier than the time he was supposed to come. What the EFCC is doing is nothing but media trial.

“From the way they have been chasing Fayose in the last three years, one would have expected that the EFCC would have completed its investigations and would arrest him immediately his tenure expires and charge him the next day but that is not the case.

“They want him to write a statement by force and then use the statement against him instead of using their own evidence.”

Charge Fayose to court, PDP tells EFCC

On its part, the South-West Zone of the Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday warned the EFCC not to detain Fayose for more than 48 hours before charging him to court.

In a statement issued by the Publicity Secretary of the party in the zone, Mr Ayo Fadaka, the party said, “It is now going to 48 hours that he submitted himself to the agency and he is still being held incommunicado, this development proves that the claim by the EFCC that it is actually working in public interest is a lie. It is merely playing a partisan card as attested to by its unfortunate tweet in the immediate aftermath of the Ekiti election.

“We, therefore, hold firmly that if Fayose is not charged to court immediately to answer to whatever charges against him, then it will be very clear that the Buhari administration is merely using the EFCC to intimidate, harass and punish him in the most unjust manner.”

My govt a blessing, says Fayose…insists he didn’t take loan

Meanwhile, Fayose has said the statement credited to Governor Kayode Fayemi that his administration was an error is a mere political statement that shouldn’t be taken seriously.

He said the Ekiti people knew that his first and second administrations were never an error but rather ones that brought unparalleled blessings and development to the state.

Fayose reacted through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in a press release issued in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday.

He said, “If Fayemi said the administration of Fayose is an error, then the road projects, the High Court Complex, the Adunni Olayinka Women Development Centre, the new Governor’s Office, the Ministry of Finance building, the flyover bridge, the construction of chalets and renovation of buildings in the Government House, among others, are errors.

“The old Governor’s Office used by Governor Fayemi during his first tenure was built by Fayose and now that providence has bestowed a second term on his shoulder, he will operate from the new Governor’s Office also built by Fayose. Are these errors as well?”

Stop being arrogant about something you know nothing about. Yes you can't keep people beyond 48hrs if you do not have anything on them but if you do have something on them you can get paper work from the court to keep them as long as necessary. That paper work is what the court has issued. Oya what's next

The usual suspects, the IPOBites and their co-conspirators will come to his defense.

Before you talk of Ganduje, he will have his time at the right time since he's also enjoying immunity which Fayose used to defer his case till now.
