Ado-Ekiti-Efforts
made by Governor Ayodele Fayose to lift the restriction order placed on his
accounts by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) in Zenith
Bank
Plc suffered a setback Tuesday, as the Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti,
deferred ruling on the mandatory order.
Governor Fayose, last week Tuesday had
his two accounts: 1003126654 and 9013074033 in the Zenit bank frozen by the
EFCC for alleged money laundering running into N1.2 billion being part of the
$2.1 billion arms fund from the office of the former National Security Adviser,
Col. Bello Dasuki.
Fayose through his lawyer , Mr Mike Ozekhome(SAN), had through an ex parte order deposed to on the 24th of June, 2016 by Bimpe Olatemiju sought a mandatory order unfreezing the accounts belonging and operated by him pending the determination of his interlocutory application .
Joined in
the suit are the EFCC (1st defendant) and Zenith bank (2nd defendant). The
order was supported by 18-paragraph affidavit , a lone Exhibit, which was a
letter issued to Governor Fayose by Zenith bank confirming that the EFCC
actually placed a restriction order on the accounts and a written address .
