Kayode Fayemi Faces Arrest

Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Minister of Steel and Mines Development is in hot soup as the Ekiti State House of Assembly has summoned the former governor of Ekiti State to appear before it on Tuesday 7th February, 2017. The assembly is now threatening to invoke Section 129 (d) of the 1999 Constitution by issuing a warrant of arrest against him if he failed to appear.

The assembly decried the nonchalant attitude of the Minister of Steel and Mines Development to previous invitations and described this as unbecoming of a public figure who had also served as a governor. The Leader of Business, Olatunji Akinyele, who moved the motion for the invitation, said the former governor was needed to shed light on the allegations of misappropriation and diversion of public funds made against him. “We have serious allegations of financial misappropriation against him, misapplication of funds, and fraudulent malpractices while he was the governor of Ekiti State.”
