Fani-Kayode had in a statement Monday evening, said his wife had gone to Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, to see Governor Ayodele Fayose when she stopped at the branch of Access Bank in the town to withdraw money.
Reacting, however through its spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC said the ex-minister’s wife attempted to withdraw money from an account which the agency had frozen.
According to the statement “Contrary to the spin about the purported arrest of mother and child, a certain Chikwendu Sonia today attempted to withdraw money from an Access Bank account that had been placed on ‘Post No Debit’ Category, following the discovery of illicit cash flows into the account.
“She was intercepted by the bank while the commission was notified, but because it was late, the EFCC advised that the suspect be taken to the police station for processing and released on bail.
“They were arranging to take the suspect to the police station when Governor Ayo Fayose stormed the bank with thugs and his personal security and forcefully secured the release of the suspect, with claims that the EFCC had no power to detain anybody in his state. He also vowed to close down the branch of the bank.
“The said account, which had a balance of N2,307,712.82, was flagged following investigation into the PDP Joint Trust Fund when the commission traced N1.1bn to the Zenith Bank account of Fani-Kayode.
“It was discovered that the account had two biometric identification numbers, one for Fani-Kayode and the other (with BVN 2205597283) for Sonia Chikwendu. The same BVN is linked to two other accounts in Diamond Bank and 15 accounts in Guaranty Trust Bank.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteEFCC/DSS why are you people wasting time with arresting some police officers who act on orders of Governors preventing justice.
ReplyDeleteWhen an account is frozen by almighty EFCC is it possible to with money from it. That's to say the freezing of the account also includes personal monitoring. If Mrs Fani had traveled to say Maiduguri how can EFCC have monitored her from withdrawing from the account. We are in a police state against the south reading from Fani list
