Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Ayo Fayose, yesterday ordered the immediate arrest of two officials of the Ekiti State Central Medical Store, Ado-Ekiti over alleged fraud of N7 million.

The suspects, Mrs Cecilia Akinleye, a level nine officer and Mr Bello Olajide, a level 10 officer, were handed over to the police yesterday following the directive of Fayose that a thorough investigation should be carried out.
It was gathered that an audit of the finances of the agency early in the year, showed that over N7m was missing from the account of the agency.
