Fayose regains freedom from EFCC custody

Immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has been released from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) custody.

This was disclosed in a tweet by his media aide, Lere Olayinka on Monday.

Olayinka said the ex-governor would return to court on November 19.

The tweet read: Fayose just regained his freedom. He left the Federal High Court, Ikoyi a few minutes ago.

“We will meet @officialEFCC at the court from November 19. Thank you Nigerians.”

DAILY POST had reported that Fayose was last week granted N50m bail after being arraigned before Justice Mojisola Olatoregun by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on charges of corruption.

The judge asked him to provide a surety who must have landed property in Lagos. The guarantor is also required to have three-year tax clearance in Lagos.

Fayose is facing an 11-count charge bordering on receiving illegal monies to fund his 2014 governorship campaign in Ekiti State, among other allegations of benefiting from proceeds of money laundering.
