FORMER
governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose was, yesterday, released from Ikoyi
prison after complying with the conditions set for his bail by the court. Fayose
was arraigned before a Federal High sitting in Lagos last week on an 11 count
charge of conspiracy and money laundering amounting to N2.2 billion.
He
was granted bail in the sum of N50 million after he pleaded not guilty to the
allegation contained in the charge against him. Fayose’s lawyer, Mr. Mike
Ezekhome, SAN, confirmed his release saying that his client is in high spirit. His
words: “I was with Fayose today (yesterday) and I can confirm to you that all the
conditions set for his bail has been met.
I
can tell you that he is in high spirit. He promised me that he will continue to
fight on behalf of the Nigerian masses. “He vowed that he will fight impunity
in this government to a standstill. He affirmed to me that he is stronger now
and more determined to fight lawlessness. He asked me to get it out there that
he is not one of those that can be intimidated with the EFCC.” Fayose’s
spokesperson, Mr. Lere Olayinka, also confirmed his boss release via his twitter
handle. Olayinka said the former governor will return to court on November 16. (Vanguard)
