Former Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has accused the
EFCC of going about sealing houses belonging to innocent people in the
State, under the guise that the houses were linked to him.
He said in a statement from the former governor, which was signed by
his media aide, Lere Olayinka, that he was informing the public ahead
of the EFCC’s usual blackmail and media trial.
The statement read; “Just been informed that operatives of the EFCC in
collaboration with the APC govt in Ekiti are going about sealing
houses of innocent people in the state, under the guise that the
houses are linked to me.
“This is another wild goose chase and the usual media campaign against
my person.
“It is only in our country that an anti corruption agency will first
go about sealing houses before determining the ownership, which can be
done so easily by visiting relevant agencies.
“I am therefore informing the public ahead of their usual blackmail
and media trial.
“None of the properties in question is owned by me and the records are
there for anyone that is interested to see.
“The EFCC is advised to stop going about looking for ways to malign my
person just because of their hatred as a result of my uncompromising
stands on national issues.
“Even if the commission is being pressured from ‘above’ to persecute
Fayose at all cost, it should at least, do its job diligently to save
itself from persistent embarrassment.”
