Ekiti Assembly Orders EFCC To Freeze Lere Olayinka’s Account

Ekiti State House of Assembly has summoned the ally of the immediate past governor of the state, Chief Ayodele Fayose and ordered EFCC to freeze his account.

The decision of the House was reached at the plenary sitting after the lawmaker representing Ekiti Southwest Constituency 1, Hon. Yemisi Ayokunle and seconded by Hon. Femi Akindele representing Irepodun Ifelodun Constituency 1.

While moving the motion, Hon. Ayokunle alleged that Lere Olayinka mismanaged the fund of BSES where he served as Director General thus subjecting the organization to serious debt.

She claimed that Olayinka purchased two cellphones at the sum of N430 and approved for himself a traveling allowance of N7million and hotel and lodging fees running to N14million.

She added that Oayinka on many occasions diverted fees meant for BSES to his personal account with the number 207779689 hence the account should be frozen.

Deliberating on the issue members of the House unanimously condemned the action of Lere Oayinka and supported the motion of Hon. Ayokunle.

In his remark, the Speaker of the House Rt. Hon. Funminiyi Afuye said the House would continue to do it’s best at sanitizing the state and ensuring prudence in the management of it’s resources.

He thereby pronounced the summon of Olayinka on a date to be communicated to him while he also asked the anti-graft agencies to freeze his account immediately.
