Protesters storm EFCC office in Abuja, demand for Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose’s prosecution over $2.1bn Arms Scandal

Some protesters under the aegis of “Patriotic Mothers Without Borders”, on Friday, January 20, 2017 stormed the EFCC Abuja headquarters calling for the “arrest, investigation and prosecution” of Ayo Fayose, governor of Ekiti State, over his alleged involvement in the $2.1 billion arms deal scandal.

Chanting “Fayose must go”, the women numbering about 300 carried various placards and banners with inscriptions like “EFCC Must Prosecute Fayose”, “Corruption is Corruption”, “Fayose is being tormented by the blood of innocent Nigerians slaughtered by Boko Haram”.

Convener of the group, Nnenna Jideofor, accused Fayose of stealing part of funds meant to equip the military in the fight against terrorism.
“The gravity of the crime does not permit that we wait indefinitely for Fayose to leave office; he would have finished spending his share of the loot by then, and he has all the time to destroy evidence.”
While presenting its petition to Umar Mohammed, Deputy Director Operations, Abuja, Jideofor expressed discontent at the ruling of Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court, Ekiti, ordering the EFCC to de-freeze Fayose’s Zenith Bank account, that the agency earlier froze having been linked to the arms deal scandal.
“As mothers, we beg the EFCC to as a matter of urgency, investigate how much Fayose gave lawmakers of Ekiti State House of Assembly who we believe have lost their souls to an overlord,” she added
Responding, Mohammed assured the “mothers with borders” that the agency takes all petitions seriously, and that of the women would be given adequate attention.
“We are not selective in our operations, and every petition received is thoroughly investigated, no matter how highly placed the person is,” he said.

    Fayose is as foolish and demonic like every typical igbo man. They can do anything for money. God is using their biafra youths to bring war on the tribe and very soon it will happen again just the way it happened in the time of the greedy Ojukwu and co. Associate yourself with igbo and see how fake your life will turn into. The love of money is the root of all evil...and here in Nigeria we have a tribe that shows that trait...mathematically that tribe is evil. Igbo is evil. As simple as simple can be. Your brothers are rich and yet they don't want to invest in that cursed land. Confused people. You have no power yet you want to fight...is that not foolishness? You are now seeking cheap attention from that fool at 70 (Trump) that jibes like market woman. He will destroy everywhere. Igbo means indian hemp..lolzz. Fayose must be tried! Gbam!
