Fayose defeats EFCC in court

The court then restrained the EFCC from interfering in the running of Ekiti State by either investigating or arresting any official of the state government.
The anti-corruption agency began its dig into Ekiti finances in 2015 when Gov. Ayo Fayose was mentioned among those complicit the $2 billion arms fund mismanaged by former NSA Sambo Dasuki in the run up to the 2015 general elections.
The governor was said to have spent huge amounts of money in legal defence.
