Former Minister of State Federal Capital Territory, Ms Jumoke Akinjide is in hot soup. Those in the know told us that Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are presently looking for her. The daughter of prominent lawyer, Chief Richard Akinjide got into trouble when she allegedly received about N650 million in the last presidential election to influence voters and INEC officials in Oyo State. A source at the EFCC disclosed to us that she alongside Yinka Taiwo and Senator Ayo Ademola Adeseun got the money from a new generation bank for election purposes and they allegedly diverted the money to their personal accounts.

The EFCC now wants them to explain why federal government money should be spent in that manner. Already, the EFCC has obtained an order from a Lagos State Magistrate Court to detain Yinka Taiwo for 30 days.
