    Court Frees From Fayose From N2.2bn Money Laundering Case By EFCC

    A Federal High Court in Lagos has discharged and acquitted former Ekiti Governor Ayodele Fayose of all charges in the long-running N2.2 billion money laundering case brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

    Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke in a ruling delivered Tuesday morning, upheld Fayose’s no-case submission, on the ground that the EFCC had failed to establish a prima facie case warranting him to enter a defence.

    Fayose had faced trial for several years over allegations of money laundering and financial misappropriation during his time as governor of Ekiti State.

    “The prosecution failed to link the defendant to the alleged crimes in a manner that warrants this court to call upon him to open his defence,” the court ruled.
