EFCC traces three posh mansions to Fayose’s associate

According to The Nation, EFCC has traced three posh houses to an associate of Giv. Fayose. The houses, one in Abuja and two in Lagos, are believed to have been bought with part of the N1.219bn pumped into the 2014 governorship election, from the office of the National security Adviser, Dasuki (rtd.).

EFCC has facts to believe that the associate allegedly acted as a front for the governor, who is under investigation. The agency may seize the properties under the Interim Forfeiture Clause of the EFCC Act. Investigators have established a link between the N1.29bn and the 3 mansions.

The source told The Nation, that: “We have been able to trace the three mansions in Abuja and Lagos to a key associate of Fayose. Our investigators have retrieved relevant documents, including the mode of payment for the houses.

Part of the N1.29billion credited to Fayose was used for the acquisition of the mansions. We are suspecting that the associate allegedly acted as a front for the governor. We will certainly invoke the appropriate laws to seize the assets after conclusion of investigation.”
