The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has written to the Nigeria Customs Service to place the outgoing Ekiti State Governor, AYO FAYOSE, on its watch list and prevent him from leaving the country through any land, air or sea borders.

We learnt the NCS has granted the request and circulated the EFCC directive to its area and zonal commands.

The EFCC Acting Chairman, IBRAHIM MAGU, in a letter dated September 12 to the Customs’ Comptroller General’s office, said that FAYOSE was under investigation and there was a suspicion that he might leave the country to evade the commission’s investigations.

FAYOSE, whose tenure will end on Monday, October 15, had last Monday written to the EFCC chairman, agreeing to report at the EFCC office on October 16 “to clarify issues or answer questions on issues within my knowledge.”

The EFCC had replied FAYOSE in a report on Saturday that he could report at the commission’s headquarters on September 20 for questioning, instead of waiting till his immunity lapsed on October 16.
