The EFCC also exposed how N1, 219, 490,000 was
allegedly flown to Akure Airport on June 12, 2014
to Fayose through his associate, Abiodun Agbele (aka
Abbey).
According to the report, “On June 12, 2014,
barely 10 days to the Ekiti State
governorship election, Obanikoro and a
man, who claimed to be his Aide-de-Camp
by the name of A. O. Adewale, chartered
a private jet belonging to OAS
Helicopters.
“About N724,500,000 was conveyed on
the plane with tail number N638MA. The
plane was an HS125 jet, operated by Okin
Travellers, a subsidiary of Elizade. The
plane landed at Akure at 9.38am and then
went back to Lagos to get an extra
N494,900,000 and landed at Akure at
5.57pm.
“Obanikoro handed the money over to one
Abiodun Agbele, otherwise known as
Abey, an associate of Fayose. Officials of
Zenith Bank arrived at the tarmac in a
bullion van to convey all the cash to the
bank’s vault, located at 13 Alagbaka
Estate, Akure.”
EFCC detective also revealed how Abey shared the
money.
“Abbey directed the bank to pay N137m
into the account of Ayodele Fayose with
number 1003126654 and Bank
Verification Number 22338867502. The
bank teller dated June 26, 2014, was
filled by Abbey with teller number
0556814.
“Abbey directed the bank to transfer
N118,760,000 to the same account and
paid in N50m cash into Fayose’s
account.
“On April 7, 2015, several months later,
Fayose personally moved N300m to his
fixed deposit account at Zenith Bank with
number 9013074033 with the same BVN.
The account is domiciled at 15 Olusola
Abiona Street, Estate, Alapere, Ketu,
Lagos.”
Meanwhile, a top official of the EFCC said: “Fayose
benefited from the ONSA slush funds when he was
yet to be a governor. So, the fact that he has
immunity now as a governor does not mean we
should not investigate him.

“The EFCC also has the right to interact
with all those connected with the illegal
withdrawal of public funds and the
diversion of the cash.”
Regarding the fate of Fayose’s associate,
the source added: “We will invite him for
interrogation; we have already initiated
the process.”
