The Patriotic Mothers Without Borders Calls For The Immediate Probe of Ekiti State Gov Fayose Over The Arms Scandal

A group of angry women calling themselves The Patriotic Mothers Without Borders yesterday headed to  the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) demanding the immediate probe and prosecution of Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose over his involvement in the arms probe deal.

The group said they know the governor is covered immunity but the impact of the arms deal scandal on human life trumps that of the governor’s immunity. They urged President Buhari to spare nobody in the ongoing crackdown on corruption. 

The group leader, Nnnenna Jideofor, submitted, “Fayose and his accomplices have blood on their hands in addition to stealing public funds. They took part in stealing the money meant for buying arms to fight Boko Haram. His collaborators, former minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, Senator Iyiola Omisore and others have returned some money. The gravity of this crime does not permit that we wait indefinitely for Fayose to leave office. He would have finished spending his loot by then.”

“Last year, the EFCC did the right thing when it froze his account with Zenith bank even though some laughable court ruling later unfroze the account. God will visit judgment on corrupt judges that deliver ruling for a bribe but it is the task of the EFCC to fish them out for punishment,”
