“We have preferred charges against Fayose at a Federal High Court in Lagos.

“He will be prosecuted for receiving N1.299 billion and $5.3 million from ONSA through a former minister, Musiliu Obanikoro.

“Although the illicit cash was released for the 2014 governorship campaign of Fayose, it was diverted to acquiring properties.

“The minister flew N1.299 billion in cash in two flights to Akure Airport for Fayose, and it was Agbele who received the slush funds from Obanikoro.

“While Fayose admitted knowing Obanikoro, he told his interrogators that he did not collect $5.3 million from the ex-minister.”

hollywater:
They will get tired and free him.EFCC has not provide enough evidence of corruption against him.I stand with Fayose, bubu will be disgrace out of Office by God grace enough of this nonsense.

The ex-governor is facing trial in connection with N1.299 billion and $5.3 million allegedly allocated to him by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) from N4.65 billion slush fund allegedly shared by ONSA.

Bolustical:
I hope Wike and others will follow him to Lagos too.

Fayose has forgotten that this is an election period where other politicians will be too busy to even lend him a hand of support like was given to Saraki.

It is amazing how you all are throwing your weight behind these individuals, honestly.

You think prosecuting any government official any where in the world -- even the US happens overnight?

Not especially in Nigeria where you hire a 100 SANs, have a faulty and weak constitution, where cases are delayed on health and other useless excuses, where cases are adjourned for months.

We all say the known fact that our country is underdeveloped because of corruption and mismanagement yet whenever anyone is taken to court we all wail for their innocence.

With this mentality, there is no going forward.

​Reports indicated last night that the trial of the immediate past governor of Ekiti state , Fayose at a Federal High Court may begin on Monday.

The ex-governor is facing trial in connection with N1.299 billion and $5.3 million allegedly allocated to him by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) from N4.65 billion slush fund allegedly shared by ONSA.

Ahead of the trial, Fayose may be relocated from Abuja to Lagos today.

EFCC confirmed last night that Fayose has been served charges and trial notice.

But the ex-governor denied collecting $5.3 million from a former Minister of State for Defence, Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro.

He was said to have only admitted knowing Obanikoro and his associate, Abiodun Agbele, who allegedly bought six choice properties for him in Lagos and Abuja.

He was also said to have confirmed during interrogation yesterday that Agbele bought the properties for him.

A source who spoke with our correspondent last night said:



Responding to a question, the source added:

“The EFCC will relocate Fayose from Abuja to Lagos either on Saturday or Sunday for the trial.”

The Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the filing of charges against Fayose.

He said:

“Fayose has been served with charges alongside his company, Spotless.”
