N4.65bn ONSA fund: EFCC moves Fayose to Lagos
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.
But the ex-governor denied collecting $5.3 million from a former Minister of State for Defence, Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro.
