| Ekiti people troop out in solidarity with Fayose |
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday intensified
investigation into the N1.35billion property scandal against Governor Ayodele
Fayose by grilling his associate, Abiodun Agbele, and three more people
connected with the deal.
The
quizzing of the affected professionals, including a businesswoman, an
accountant and an estate consultant, lasted more than eight hours.
According
to investigation, the EFCC invited the three professionals for a tell-all
session and to either corroborate or respond to Agbele’s revelations to its
investigating team.
A
top source said: “You are already aware that Agbele has been in detention in
the past two weeks. He has made some confessions, but we need to invite those
he wired money into their accounts.
“So,
we have invited a businesswoman, an accountant and an estate consultant. We had
an interactive session with these professionals for about eight hours. It took
time because it was a ‘tell-all’ session.
“We
have retrieved all relevant bank statements on how Agbele used the account of
his company, De-Privateer, to pay for the four duplexes on Tiamiyu Savage
Street on Victoria Island.
“The
said properties were no doubt acquired by Agbele on behalf of Fayose. As a
matter of fact, the governor was actively involved in the negotiation of the
properties going by call logs.”
As
at 6.32pm, the questioning of Agbele and others was still in progress.
