The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently interrogated former Governor of Ekiti, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, for alleged money laundering and misappropriation of N4 billion. Sources say that Mr. Fayemi was drilled by the commission’s operatives at its facility located in Ilorin, Kwara state.
The former governor, who served from 2018 to 2022 and handed over to Gov. Biodun Oyebanji in June 2022, was invited to appear at the EFCC’s Kwara office on May 18 over allegations of money laundering and misappropriation of public funds. The investigation is believed to be connected to the handling of funds during his tenure as governor.
EFCC’s letter, sent on May 12, stated: “the commission is investigating a case of money laundering in which there is need to seek certain clarification from you has become imperative. In view of this, you are kindly requested to come for an interview.”
Despite the invitation, Fayemi wrote the commission to request a delay, citing his involvement in organising and reviewing a book published in President Buhari’s honour. However, following the presidential swearing-in, the commission reportedly went into action and invited him again for questioning.
