Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC have discovered how Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose acquired five houses worth N1.35b within his first six months in office.
The properties are said to include four duplexes in Lagos and one on Abuja.
Three additional persons have been invited for questioning on Friday by the anti-graft agency. They include Oyin Daramola, an estate agent, said to have sold the four properties in Lagos to Fayose. Daramola told the EFCC operatives that she did a legitimate business.
Sources said that Fayose's associate, Abiodun Agbele has been moved to Abuja from Lagos for further interrogation.
Fayose was sworn into office on October 16, 2014 but by April 2015, he had bought four units of four-bedroom duplexes in Lagos and one in Abuja.
Each of the four duplexes located at Tiamiyu Savage Street in Victoria Island, Lagos cost $1.3m.
Those expected to be questioned on Friday are Daramola of Still Earth, her former accountant and a consultant from Philberth simply identified as Titilayo.
“We are going to interact with these three people on Friday as part of the ongoing investigation of the governor. We had a preliminary interface with Daramola, who was innocently manipulated by Agbele and the governor for a legitimate business,” said an EFCC source.
Daramola was reported to have told the EFCC that she did legitimate business with the governor.
“You can check my background and business records, I have never been involved in shady transactions. Even the purchase of the duplexes, I made sure every process is documented without cutting corners," she said.
