Governor
Ayo Fayose yesterday, Thursday, stormed the Zenith Bank branch in Ado Ekiti to withdraw
from his bank account that was frozen by the EFCC.
The
development came two days after a Federal High Court in Ado Ekiti ordered that the
governor’s account should be unblocked by the bank.
Taiwo Taiwo,
the presiding judge in the case, said Mr. Fayose enjoys absolute immunity from
prosecution and no punitive measures could be taken against him.
Mr.
Fayose’s account was frozen in June on allegations that he took money from a
former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, who is currently being
prosecuted for over arms purchase scandal.
The EFCC
said it would appeal the ruling.
On
Thursday afternoon, the governor’s media assistant, Lere Olayinka, circulated
images showing that Mr. Fayose had been to the bank to withdraw a total sum of
money.
