Samuel Omotoso, a
legislator in the Ekiti state House of Assembly, has said that a two-storey
building sealed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at Okesa
Market belongs to him.
The lawmaker described the
conduct of the EFCC as harassment and political infringement on his property.
He claimed the anti-graft agency’s action was as a result of his loyalty to
Fayose, The Punch reports.
“This attempt to malign my
name by EFCC by linking my family property to Ayo Fayose is political and was
done in clear bad faith.
“A simple check at the land
registry would have put paid to this unnecessary exercise and the accompanying
media sensation, as all documents relating to the joint ownership of the said
property by my family is in the public domain,” Omotoso said.
Legit.ng had reported that
property allegedly belonging to the former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele
Fayose, has been sealed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Punch stated that the
former governor was arraigned by the EFCC at the Federal High Court in Lagos on
Monday, October 22, on 11 counts over alleged N6.9 billion fraud.
Legit.ng gathered that
after pleading not guilty to the charges, Fayose was granted bail in the sum of
N50 million with one surety in like sum.
