Ayodele Fayose, former governor
of Ekiti state, has regained freedom after 13 days in custody of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Fayose, who is facing trial for
alleged money laundering and abuse of office, walked into the commission’s head
office in Abuja on October 16.
He was subsequently flown to
Lagos and arraigned at a federal high court in Ikoyi. The court granted him a
N50 million bail on Wednesday.
He was asked to provide a surety
with landed property in Lagos. His guarantor is also required to have
three-year tax clearance in Lagos. He could not fulfil his bail condition
immediately.
Lere Olayinka, spokesman of the
former governor, said he regained freedom on Monday evening.
More to follow...Fayose just regained his freedom. He left the Federal High Court, Ikoyi a few minutes ago.— Lere Olayinka - Aresa 1 (@OlayinkaLere) October 29, 2018
