Ayo Fayose may have won the election in Ekiti state but he still has a
corruption case to answer, this is according to EFCC Head of Media and
Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren.
Speaking with Punch Yesterday,
Mr. Uwujaren said Fayose's election has not affected his ongoing trial
at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti, for alleged corruption.
"The EFCC has not dropped the case against the former Governor of Ekiti
State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose. The trial is still going on; it is
continuing at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti. In fact further hearing
comes up on July 15, 2014.
As you know, immunity from
prosecution applies only to the President, the Vice President, sitting
governors and their deputies.”
It is the court that would
decide whether the case would be discontinued or not; all arguments will
be canvassed in court and it is the court that would decide,” he said.
