The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC is set to invite the
wife of the Ekiti State Governor, Mrs.
Feyistan Fayose for questioning over
the sum of N100m paid into an
account operated in her name and her
husband’s.

The anti-graft agency disclosed that
the money which was paid into the
account operated by the couple
emanated from the account of the
Office of the National Security
Adviser, ONSA.

EFCC further revealed that the
amount was paid on June 17, 2014,
less than a week to the Ekiti
Governorship polls into Spotless
Investment Limited’s account
operated with Zenith Bank Plc.

According to an EFCC detective,
“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 account implicated has since
been frozen by the EFCC.

The source further added that the
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele
Fayose cannot be brought in for
questioning by the EFCC because of
his immunity status but “His wife,
however, has no immunity”.
