EFCC taunts Fayose on Twitter, warns of imminent arrest

Governor Ayo Fayose

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned of an imminent arrest of the Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose via a Twitter post it released on Sunday, over a failed poultry project.

Fayose’s administration had been accused of funds misappropriation over a poultry project, much earlier before his second coming as Ekiti State governor, but he has been shielded from arrest with the constitutional immunity.

Though Fayose’s name is not mentioned in the tweet, but the case being referred to can easily be traced to him.

The Twitter post reads:

The parri is over; The cloak of immunity torn apart, and the staff broken. #Ekiti Integrated Poultry Project/Biological Concepts Limited N1.3bn fraud case file dusted off the shelves. See you soon. pic.twitter.com/pD1ZheVhWt— EFCC Nigeria (@officialEFCC) July 15, 2018
