The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission has commenced moves to seize some properties linked to
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, The PUNCH has learnt.
According to the EFCC, houses to be
seized are four duplexes on Victoria Island in Lagos State and one
located at 44 Osun Crescent, Maitama, Abuja.
A reliable source told our correspondent
on Thursday that the houses were allegedly purchased with illegitimate
funds, stating that the EFCC could invoke the Assets Forfeiture clause
to seize the properties in line with sections 28 and 34 of the EFCC
(Establishment Act) 2004 and Section 13 (1) of the Federal High Court
Act, 2004.
The EFCC is currently investigating
Fayose for allegedly receiving N1.219bn from the Office of the National
Security Adviser through a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator
Musiliu Obanikoro, who is currently in school in the United States of
America.
After freezing Fayose’s Zenith Bank
accounts, the anti-graft agency alleged that it had uncovered details of
how the governor had been receiving kickbacks from state contractors.http://punchng.com/efcc-set-seize-fayoses-n1-35bn-properties/
