station in Akute – Fayose replies EFCC
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has
flayed the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, for arresting its suspects
without concluding investigation, adding that the
commission’s officials are acting as if they are
brain dead.
Fayose made the allegation following reports that
the anti-graft agency sealed up a filling station in
Lambe, Akute area of Ogun State, allegedly owned
by him.
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Public
Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka,
Fayose denied the claim and he admonished the
commission to adequately verify its information
before acting.
He said, “It is ridiculous to say such thing about a
person who has been governor for two years. How
would you say Fayose has a filling station at Akute
“If he would have had a filling station, he would
have had it along Lagos-Ibadan Express Way or
Lekki and other highbrow areas and not Akute. Does
he even have any link with Akute?
“Fayose would rather have something like NNPC
mega station, which would have had at least 20
pumps. He has been a successful businessman
before becoming governor.
“When I hear some of these things, I am just
surprised. Last week, because Fayose used a guest
house, Brilla Bicaso at Gana Street, Abuja, they
wanted to lock down the place.
“The operator of the place dared them. They wanted
him to provide evidence to show that he owns the
place. He said they should lock the place and that
he would meet them in court. He later said he is
not the actual owner of the place. He leased it from
Domkat Bali.
“They went there in their ‘gra gra’ manner, whereas
they have access to government information. They
should check with relevant authorities like the
Ministry of Lands before taking actions.
“In other climes, you are supposed to have
concluded investigation before you go after people.
But they would want to arrest people and want them
to provide evidence against themselves.
“I would not act this way if I am the EFCC
chairman. It is insulting. How can you say he
(Fayose) has a filling station at Akute? They should
operate like people with brain. It is like vendetta
mission has beclouded their sense of reasoning
