The N2.2bn fraud trial of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose progressed on Wednesday with the prosecution fielding four additional witnesses.

Among the four witnesses were three Lebanese – Goshen Joseph; Joseph Mechleb and Maroun Mechleb – who are working in Nigeria as building and construction engineers.

Mechleb told the court that the jobs he did for Ekiti State were facilitated by Abiodun Agbele – an aide to Fayose. He said he falsely claimed ownership of the property in order to help Agbele, whom he described as a friend. The Lebanese said at a time Agbele approached him and asked if he had a company which could be used to get a contract.The Lebanese said Agbele later bought a property in the name of JJ Technical Services Limited and brought the deed of assignment for him to sign.“At the beginning, I didn’t know it was document of a property but I later got to know when the EFCC invited me and I had to contact Mr Abiodun Agbele,” Mechleb said.

What is Peter's Offence? Did he commit more than Oshemole, Ameachi or Akpabio? No! He has to be taken care of because he refused to join the All Progresive Criminals but stood his ground and spoke against a tyrannical government.

Fayose should seek alternative solutions lest he ends up in jail!!
