“We are suspecting that the ex-minister did not put the housemaid in the picture of what she wanted to do with her passport photograph.
“We have established that the ex-minister has been drawing funds from the said account. We have retrieved records of all transactions by the ex-Minister. We will soon bring her to justice no matter how long it takes to follow due process.”
The bank account of the Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose was placed under restriction by the EFCC on Monday, June 20, 2016.
