The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is searching for Mrs. Moji Ladeji, the sister of Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, over a N200m house situated at 44 Osun Crescent, Maitama, Abuja, a highbrow range in the country's capital.
As indicated by court reports, the building, which has since been closed by the EFCC, was professedly purchased by Fayose from proceed from corrupt practices however the title documents of the house bear the name of Fayose's sister, a move the commission asserted was to cover the governor's track.
Investigators said that Ladeji, who is situated in the United Kingdom, would need to clarify her part in the claimed trick.
A source in the EFCC stated, “We have been able to establish that the house was bought from the proceeds of corrupt practices. The house was, however, bought in the name of Fayose’s sister. We need to question her to determine her level of involvement.
“We know that she is based in the UK but she comes to Nigeria quite often. We want her to come and tell us her side of the story.”
Fayose had sued the EFCC for solidifying his financial balance taking after a claim that he got N1.219bn from the Office of the National Security Adviser through a previous Minister of State for Defense, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, and kickbacks from state temporary workers.
