BREAKING: EFCC re-arraigns Fayose before new judge, gets leave to travel abroadThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday re-arraigned former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose for alleged money laundering, even as the court granted his application to travel to South Africa for medical treatment. The trial judge, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke, also ordered the release of Fayose’s international passport and that the passport be returned to the court on September 16, 2019. EFCC counsel, Mr. S. A. Adewale had told the court last Friday that the prosecution was not ready for the arraignment, prompting the adjournment of the matter till today. Justice Aneke consequently admitted the former governor to bail in the terms and conditions earlier granted by Justice Olatoregun. The trial was adjourned till September 16, 17, 18 and 19 as well as October 21 to 25, 2019.
