BREAKING: Fayose Floors EFCC, Court Says He Is Innocent

By Gideon Njoku

After all the noise and “gra-gra” and drama that made Nollywood green with envy at the time, especially when he stormed the office of his “persecutors” wearing his iconic T-shirt on which was written “EFCC HERE I COME”, former Governor of  Ekiti  State, Ayo Fayose, has been declared innocent by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.

He was standing trial on charges of alleged money laundering preferred against him by the  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, which ran into billions of Naira.

But on Wednesday, the Court ruled that the EFCC has no case against him; that he is innocent  of all the charges; that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against  him; that the former Governor has no reason to enter into any defence in any case; and that the no case submission which he pleaded is upheld.

Meaning that unlike before, the EFCC has no business harassing him, and that he is as free as air to pursue his business activities  and the politics of his political party  –  the almost -dead Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
