Ekiti State Accuses Former Governor Of Over N40billion In Fraud, Theft

The Ekiti State House of Assembly submitted a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja Thursday to investigate a

former State Governor on accusations of stealing over N40billion from Ekiti State.

The petition against Kayode Fayemi, the immediate past governor of Ekiti State and Minister of Solid Minerals, mentions other accusations including writing numerous fraudulent contracts for major construction projects, mismanaging a N25billion bond and N5billion commercial bank loan, diverting N853billion away from the State Universal Basic Education Board, and fraudulently purchasing 156 Ford vehicles.

In addition to Dr. Fayemi, the petition mentions Dapo Kolawole, Yemi Adaramodu, Abiodun Oyebanji, Arc Oyelade and Bayo Kelekun.

Sina Animasaun, one of the members of Ekiti State House Assembly who submitted the petition said the State House of Assembly could no longer ignore “the monumental looting of the State treasury perpetrated by immediate past APC government of Fayemi.”
