Read the press statement below...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr.
Ayodele Fayose on Thursday stormed the Ado-Ekiti branch of the Zenith Bank to
make withdrawal from his hitherto frozen account following a Federal High Court
order asking the bank to de-freeze the governor’s account. Governor Fayose who
made a withdrawal of N5 million in cash thanked Nigerians for standing with him
and against the recklessness of the EFCC.
A Federal High Court in Ado Ekiti had on Tuesday, ordered that
Governor Fayose's accounts in Zenith Bank be defrozen with immediate effect.
The accounts were frozen by the EFCC in June, this year. The judge said the
EFCC action breac.hed the governor's fundamental rights to fair hearing, as the
commission did not make him a party to the proceedings for the interim freezing
of the account.
He said that the EFCC suppressed facts by not disclosing to the
court that granted the interim freezing order that the two accounts that were
frozen belonged to Governor who enjoys total constitutional immunity. Details
later.
