Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has said that he ‘remain resolute in making his opinions known on national issues and will not be intimidated.” Fayose made this known yesterday in an angry reaction to the arrest of some men, who allegedly aided and abetted the Governor in laundering part of the cash taken from the office of the former National Security Officer.
The men were said to have been arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Monday in Lagos. One of them, whose name was given as Abiodun Agbele, was reportedly picked up at a location in Lagos while trying to doctor vital documents relating to some property he had bought for the embattled Governor.
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest but did not give further details.
