We Have Right To Freeze Any Suspicious Account Including Fayose’s — EFCC

Earlier yesterday, The EFCC froze Ayo Fayose's account with Zenith Bank. This prompted Fayose to relase a statment saying that they had no right to freeze his account as he was a serving governor and
 as such enjoys immunity.The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reacted to the claim he cannot be investigated because of immunity currently being enjoyed by him. The
commission said that the immunity being enjoyed by any governor does not prevent the commission from investigating suspicious movements of money into his accounts. The Spokesman for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren told Vanguard that the anti-graft agency has the right to investigate any governor whose account is being used to move funds. “Immunity does not prevent EFCC from investigating suspicious accounts of those enjoying immunity and Fayose cannot be an exception, “the commission said.
