Gov. Fayose Of Ekiti State

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) were stopped by Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state, in their bid to arrest a woman who tried to withdraw money from an account already red-flagged by the commission.

The Ekiti State Governor who has been outstanding and out spoken in the PDP circle as opposition is at war with the EFCC whose pin and net is  towards the wife of the PDP spokes person, Fani Koyede. Fani Kayode who was arrested and later released on bail by the agency is also to be nailed again because he can not be separated from his wife and every reactions are rooted to the husband.

The woman who allegedly is the wife of Chief Femi Fani Kayode and her child were reportedly detained by the EFCC, but the EFCC in a late statement Monday denied detaining any one, while also revealing the role of Governor Ayo Fayose in frustrating the arrest.

According to Source, Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesman said Fayose stormed the bank with thugs to stop the arrest.


“Contrary to the media spin about the purported arrest of mother and child, a certain Chikwendu Sonia today attempted to withdraw money from an Access Bank account that had been placed on ‘Post No Debit’ Category, following the discovery of illicit cash flows into the account.

“She was intercepted by the bank while the Commission was notified but because it was late, the EFCC advised that the suspect be taken to the police station for processing and release on bail.

“They were arranging to take the suspect to the police station when Governor Ayo Fayose stormed the bank with thugs and his personal security and forcefully secured the release of the suspect, with claims that the EFCC had no power to detain anybody in his state.

“He also vowed to close down the branch of the bank. “The said account, which had a balance of N 2,307,712.82 was flagged following investigation into the PDP Joint Trust fund when the Commission traced N1.1billion to the Zenith Bank account of Fani-Kayode.

“It was discovered that the account had two biometric identification numbers, one for Fani-Kayode and the other (with BVN 2205597283)for Sonia Chikwendu. “The same BVN is linked to two other accounts in Diamond bank and 15 accounts in Guaranty Trust Bank”.

Like Fayose, Governor Nyesom Wike also stopped the arrest of a judge on 8 October in Port Harcourt, by the Department of State Services, with the help of the Police commissioner in the state and his personal security details.
