The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has asked the Nigeria customs service to place Ayodele Fayose, outgoing governor of Ekiti, on its watch list.
Fayose, whose tenure ends on October 16, is being investigated by the EFCC for alleged abuse of office, money laundering, among others.
The EFCC in a letter dated September 12, 2018, and addressed to the comptroller-general of customs, said Fayose may be planning to flee the country.
The letter signed by Ibrahim Magu reads in part; “There is a reasonable suspicion suggesting that he may likely leave the country either through the land borders, airports or seaports in order to evade investigation. Hence, you are kindly requested to watch-list him and arrest him.”
Responding the Nigerian Customs instructed all zonal coordinators, area commanders and comptrollers to monitor Fayose, urging them to “ monitor the subject and report to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission through the provided contact details if sighted.”
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost the July 2018 governorship election in Ekiti state Kayode Fayemi, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), defeated Olusola Kolapo to win the election.
