Ayo Fayose may have won the election in Ekiti state but he still has a
corruption case to answer, this is according to EFCC Head of Media and
Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren.
Speaking with Punch
Yesterday, Mr. Uwujaren said Fayose's election has not affected his
ongoing trial at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti, for alleged
corruption.
"The EFCC has not dropped the case against the former Governor of Ekiti
State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose. The trial is still going on; it is
continuing at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti. In fact further hearing
comes up on July 15, 2014.
As you know, immunity from prosecution
applies only to the President, the Vice President, sitting governors and
their deputies.”
It is the court that would decide
whether the case would be discontinued or not; all arguments will be
canvassed in court and it is the court that would decide,” he said.
