The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC) on Sunday hinted that it is dusting off its shelves the case of the integrated poultry project against Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state.
The anti-graft agency disclosed this in a tweet on Sunday, July 15, saying: “The parri is over; The cloak of immunity torn apart, and the staff broken. #Ekiti Integrated Poultry Project/Biological Concepts Limited N1.3bn fraud case file dusted off the shelves. See you soon.”
The former minister defeated Professor Olusola Eleka, the current deputy governor of Ekiti state and the anointed candidate of Governor Ayodele Fayose.
The anti-graft agency filed the N1.3bn fraud case against Fayose in 2005. The case led to his impeachment from office in 2006.
Investigations by the anti-graft body revealed that between December 2003 and December 2005, Fayose, without due process, engaged Biological Concept, managed by one Gbenga James, his personal friend, on the integrated poultry farm in the State.
Through this project, the sum of N855 million was withdrawn from the account of the state government.
The EFCC has deleted the tweet, apparently because it was accused of being partisan.
