MOSYLOADEDBLOGNEWS

The anti-graft agency, EFCC, has
arrested two top officials of Ekiti State.
The Ekiti State Commissioner for
Finance and the Accountant General
were arrested on Thursday and are
currently in the custody of the EFCC, a
top official confirmed.
“They were picked up today following
their refusal to honour previous
invitations for interrogation in relation
to pending investigation on the misuse
of bail out funds by the Ayodele Fayose
administration,” an EFCC spokesperson
said in an email to PREMIUM TIMES.
The officials were arrested on the same
day the state governor, Ayodele Fayose,
formally declared his intention to run
for the 2019 presidential election on the
platform of the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP.
Mr. Fayose has also been investigated
for alleged corrupt practices but cannot
be arrested or prosecuted while in
office as governor based on the
constitutional immunity he enjoys.
