Kindly share this story:
Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday celebrated his victory at the Federal High Court in Lagos by sharing a meal of amala with site workers.
Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke discharged Fayose of charges bordering on money laundering and theft involving ₦6.9 billion, after upholding a no-case submission filed by his legal team.
The judge ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission failed to establish a prima facie case or directly link him to the alleged crimes.
Fayose was first arraigned in 2018 before Justice Mojisola Olatoregun, but the case was later transferred to Justice Aneke.
