Two men, who allegedly aided and abetted Governor Ayo Fayose to launder part of the cash taken from the Office of the former National Security Officer, has been arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
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. The names of the others arrested by the commission were not made public at press time.
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest but did not give further details. “It is true that we arrested some men who were fronting for the governor. They are in our Lagos Office. That is all I can say for now,” Uwujaren said last night.
But it was learnt that some officials of a bank, which the governor said had helped him with funds to run his election, were also picked up and moved to Abuja by the operatives of the commission.
Agbele, according to EFCC sources had been on the watchlist of the commission in the past week following discovery he was the arrowhead in the receipt and laundering of huge sums of money from a former Defence Minister, Musiliu Obanikor, who has since denied doling out any money to the Ekiti governor.
