CEOAFRICA gathered that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has today, Wednesday insisted that former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has case to answer in respect of N1.2 billion poultry project fund allegedly mismanaged during his tenure as governor.

The case had come up before Justice Adamu Hobon who presided over the case in Federal High Court of Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.

Opposing an application by Fayose’s counsel, Mr. Owoseni Ajayi, which sought to quash the charges against the former governor, Mr. Adebisi Adeyemi, who represented the EFCC said in a counter-affidavit that the anti-graft agency had “established a prima facie case against Fayose.

Adebisi insisted that Fayose’s application was “entirely lacking in merit and a ploy to frustrate the case and waste the court’s precious time as necessary facts have been established against him.”

EFCC prayed the court to dismiss the application, saying “we have established a prima facie case against Fayose and there is enough evidence to prove our case.”
