The Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will soon invite Feyisetan Fayose, wife of
Ayo Fayose Ekiti state governor, PUNCH is reporting.
The newspaper said the first lady of Ekiti allegedly received
N100m through an account which is operated by her and her husband.
It quoted the agency as saying the money, which emanated from the
account of the office of Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser, was
paid into the Zenith Bank account of Spotless Investment Limited on June 17,
2014, less than a week to the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti.
The money was paid into the company’s account with bank teller
number 0540997 by one Abiodun Agbele, said to be an associate of the governor.
The two signatories to Spotless Investment Limited’s account are
said to be Fayose and his wife.
“N100m was paid into the Spotless Investment Limited account with
number 1010170969 at Zenith Bank. The two signatories are Fayose, with Bank
Verification Number 22338867502, and his wife, Helen Olayemi, with BVN
22298990256,” the newspaper quoted a detective as saying.
As a sitting governor, Fayose cannot be prosecuted or arrested
because he enjoys immunity.
“His wife, however, has no immunity,” the official reportedly
said.
Fayose has denied collecting any money from Dasuki, saying Zenith
Bank sponsored his election.
He dared the EFCC to produce evidence that he benefitted from the
controversial arms deal.
The governor accused the agency of “acting a movie being scripted
by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari”, but said he will fight to the
end.
