There were indications last night that the trial of ex-Governor Ayodele Fayose at a Federal High Court may begin on Monday.
The Ex-governor is facing trial in connection with N1.299 billion and $5.3 million allegedly allocated to him by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) from N4.65 billion slush fund allegedly shared by ONSA.
Ahead of the trial, Fayose may be relocated from Abuja to Lagos today.
EFCC confirmed last night that Fayose has been served charges and trial notice.
The Former Governor has denied collecting $5.3 million from Mr Musiliu Obanikoro, the Former Minister of State for Defence.
He was said to have only admitted knowing Obanikoro and his associate, Abiodun Agbele, who allegedly bought six choice properties for him in Lagos and Abuja.
Fayose’s Media Aide, Lere Olayinka, has insisted in a statement that the EFCC does not have tangible evidence to prosecute the former Governor on the charges levelled against him.
