Fayose’s ally, Agbele files N500m suit against EFCC



One of the bank tellers used in paying money into Fayose's account by his best friend, Abiodun Agbele.
Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

Justice Olukayode Adeniyi of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Apo, Abuja, will on Friday hear a N500m suit filed by an ally of Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, Abiodun Agbele‎, seeking an order releasing him from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

‎Agbele was reportedly arrested on June 27 for his role in the handling of over N1.219bn on behalf of Fayose during the Ekiti State governorship election in 2014.

The money was said to have been part of the N4.7bn that was siphoned from the Office of the National Security Adviser and deposited into the bank account of a company belonging to the sons of a former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro.

In his suit filed on his behalf by his lawyers – Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and Olalekan Ojo – Agbele urged the court to declare his arrest and detention unlawful and award N500m as compensatory damages against the EFCC for his unlawful arrest and detention.

Agbele argued, in the fundamental rights enforcement suit, that his arrest and continued detention beyond the 48 hours allowed by the Constitution, amounted to violation of his rights to freedom of liberty, human dignity and the right to acquire and own properties.
He said unless and except the court comes to his rescue, the EFCC will continue to infringe on his rights to freedom of liberty.

If you dont have right as a Nigerian please we do so sharrap already

If there is any evidence with EFCC why not charge the gentleman to court the next day after arresting him, they are busy transfering him from one underground cell to another

After eating forbidden yam and caught they will be shouting human right,wait till your friend come and meet you there

Are you of fayose's puppet.

Those idiots are busy siphoning public money for personal use and because of 1000 naira, you people turn to morons ready to defend them with your lives.

Go and steal 500 naira from the general populace and ask for your human right to trial and see the kinda jungle justice that will be meted out to you. Yet, two people connived to steal over a billion naira and you turn to human right advocator.


He should bear his cross like a man. Gaskiya

Learn from the past

You are a legitimate citizen only when your hands are clean from Corruption under Buhari's watch. Meanwhile, if you are still being detained, the question is: Have you met you met your bail conditions?

Sahara reporters without any government backing down always back their stories with fact

Why efcc without any fact just arrest people and forced them to make statements
