Lere Olayinka: Why Fayose is still in EFCC custody

Lere Olayinka, the media aide of Ayodele Fayose, former governor
of Ekiti State, has explained why his principal is yet to be
released from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
custody.

Mojisola Olatoregun, a judge of a federal high court in Lagos,
granted a N50 million bail to Fayose on Wednesday.

Fayose was asked him to provide a surety with landed property in
Lagos. The guarantor is also required to have three-year tax
clearance in Lagos.

In a tweet on Friday, Olayinka said Fayose met all the bail
conditions by 2 pm on Friday and would be hopefully released on
Monday.

He said the ex-governor all the necessary documents required for
Fayose’s bail had been verified.

“On Governor Fayose bail, as at 2 pm today, all necessary
documents were filed before the court and verified. Hopefully, he
should be out of custody by Monday. We thank Nigerians for their
support.”

Fayose walked to the headquarters of the commission in Abuja
after handing over power on October 16.

He was detained after several hours of interrogation.

The former governor was later charged to court and arraigned on
an 11-count charge of corruption and abuse of office but he denied
all the allegations and pleaded not guilty.
