Fayose storms Zenith Bank, withdraws N5m
Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose on Thursday stormed the
Ado-Ekiti branch of the Zenith Bank to make withdrawal from his
hitherto frozen account.
This followed a Federal High Court order asking the bank to de-freeze the governor’s account.
Governor Fayose who made a withdrawal of N5 million in cash thanked
Nigerians for standing with him and against the recklessness of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC.
A Federal High Court in Ado Ekiti had on Tuesday, ordered that
Governor Fayose’s accounts in Zenith Bank be defrozen with immediate
effect.
The accounts were frozen by the EFCC in June, this year.
The judge said the EFCC action breached the governor’s fundamental
rights to fair hearing, as the commission did not make him a party to
the proceedings for the interim freezing of the account.
He said that the EFCC suppressed facts by not disclosing to the court
that granted the interim freezing order that the two accounts that
were frozen belonged to the Governor who enjoys total constitutional
immunity.
