Fayose’s Alleged Fraud Case Suspended Over Immunity + 7 Ex-Governors On Trial

The Head of Media and Publicity of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Wilson
Uwujaren, has said the alleged fraud case
against the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose,
has been suspended as a result of his election
and current status.

The EFCC spokesman also said the commission's
cases against seven ex-governors on money
laundering and related cases are ongoing in
various courts in the country.
Uwujaren said this during a press briefing in
Abuja on Monday that the commission also
recovered N65,320,669,350.35 between 2012
and 2014 and $245, 952,030.13 during the
period.

The ex-governors, according to him, are
Chimaroke Nnamani, Orji Kalu, Joshua Dariye,
Abubakar Audu, Danjuma Goje, Akwe Doma and
Rev. Jolly Nyame.

He added that while Orji Kalu was still
challenging the competence of the commission
to file charges against him, Joshua Dariye had
been ordered to go on trial by the Supreme
Court, where he had contested the verdict of the
Court of Appeal that the commission could file
charges against him.
