Ekiti State former governor Ayodele Fayose was yesterday arraigned at a High Court in Ado-Ekiti.
He was brought before the court for his alleged inability to offset N900million he owed his former Attorney-General (AG) and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Owoseni Ajayi, as legal fee.
Ajayi was Fayose’s Attorney-General and Justice Commissioner during his first and second terms as governor of Ekiti State from 2003 to 2006 and from 2014 to 2017.
In the case brought before the court, the ex-Attorney-General claimed he handled eight cases through his law firm for Fayose, with each costing N50million as professional fee, which he alleged were not paid.
He said the cases were prosecuted for Fayose between 2006 and 2014, which bordered on his impeachment in 2006 and the corruption case filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), among others.
