Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday had adjourned his rearraignment till July 2. Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke fixed the date despite objection by Fayose through his counsel Ola Olanipekun (SAN). The judge upheld the prayer of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that it needed the adjournment to, among others, conclude a fresh investigation against Fayose. In October 2018, EFCC arraigned Fayose for an alleged fraud of N2.2billion before Justice Mojisola Olatoregun, six days after he completed his tenure as governor. It was subsequently transferred to Justice Aneke.
