A banker, Mr. Lawrence Akande, Monday told a Federal High Court in Lagos that sometime in 2014, he received money on behalf of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, at the Akure Airport in Ondo State.
He pleaded not guilty and was granted N50 million bail on October 24, 2018, with two sureties in the like sum.He repeated his plea and was allowed to continue on the earlier bail granted, while the case was adjourned for trial. Akande told the judge that in June 2014, he received a call from the Fayose informing him that there would be a business transaction in Akure.
Narrating how the patronage was sought, he said: “He has always being my governor, and yes, as a good zonal head of my bank I solicited patronage from him.” Fayose was alleged to have procured De Privateer Ltd and Still Earth Ltd, to retain the aggregate sums of N851 million which they reasonably ought to have known formed part of crime proceeds.
I wonder what manner of children these politicians will breed.
