See Reason Fayose Is Still In EFCC Custody

The media aide of Ayodele Fayose, former governor of Ekiti state, Lere Olayinka, has revealed the reason his boss is still in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Naija News recalls that a N50 million bail was granted to Fayose on Wednesday by a federal high court in Lagos headed by Mojisola Olatoregun.

Fayose was asked him to provide a surety with landed property in Lagos. The guarantor is also required to have three-year tax clearance in Lagos.

On @GovAyoFayose bail, as at 2pm today, all necessary documents were filed before the court and verified. Hopefully, he should be out of custody by Monday.
We thank Nigerians for their support.

Olayinka, in a tweet on Friday said Fayose met all the bail conditions by 2pm on Friday and would be hopefully released on Monday.

He said the ex-governor all the necessary documents required for Fayose’s bail had been verified.

“On Governor Fayose bail, as at 2pm today, all necessary documents were filed before the court and verified. Hopefully, he should be out of custody by Monday. We thank Nigerians for their support.”

Immediately after handing over power to his successor on the 16th of October, Fayose headed to the EFCC office in Abuja to clear his name.

He was detained after several hours of interrogation.

The former governor was later charged to court and arraigned on an 11-count charge of corruption and abuse of office but he denied all the allegations and pleaded not guilty.
