EFCC Summons Former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi for Questioning on N4 Billion Scandal

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has summoned the former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, for questioning in relation to an alleged scandal involving a staggering sum of N4 billion.

This summons marks a significant turn of events for Fayemi, who was once a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, having also served as the Minister of Mines and Steel Development during President Muhammadu Buhari’s first term.

According to reliable sources within the EFCC, the former governor has been requested to appear before the anti-graft agency to address serious allegations of misappropriation of funds during his tenure as governor.

The EFCC’s investigation is focused on the alleged embezzlement of the substantial sum, which was earmarked for the development and welfare of Ekiti State.

Kayode Fayemi, known for his influential role in the political landscape, arrived at the EFCC’s Ilorin zonal office promptly after receiving the summons.

Inside sources report that Fayemi is currently undergoing extensive interrogation, as EFCC detectives seek to unravel the intricate web of financial transactions that may have led to the misappropriation.

The former governor’s cooperation in the ongoing investigation is crucial, as it may determine the course of action that the EFCC will take.
