The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has alerted Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose that it would come after him as soon as he leaves office in October.
Mr Fayose suffered a crucial blow on Saturday when his Deputy and anointed Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prof Kolapo Olusola-Eleka, lost the governorship election to Dr Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress.
Fayemi polled 197,459 votes to emerge winner while Olusola-Eleka came second with 178,121 votes.
Fayose, who has been accused of mismanaging the finances of Ekiti, currently enjoys immunity as a sitting state governor.
The EFCC has now come out to remind him that he will lose that privilege when his term expires.
In a message posted on Twitter on Saturday, the anti-graft agency taunted that it has dusted the case file on the N1.3billion allegedly misappropriated in the Integrated Poultry Project/Biological Concepts Limited saga.
The message has been deleted.
Fayose’s personal accounts with Zenith Bank Plc were in April ordered to be frozen by an Appeal Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.
The appeal filed by the EFCC against Fayose’s victory at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti, in December 2016, was allowed by the three-man panel led by Justice Joseph Ikyegh.
It upturned the judgment of the Federal High Court, presided over by Justice Taiwo O. Taiwo, on December 13, 2016, which unfroze Fayose’s two personal accounts with the bank.
The EFCC has also linked Fayose to funds allegedly misappropriated by former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
Some houses in Lagos and Abuja have also been traced to the governor as proceeds of fraud.
