The Federal High Court, Ado Ekiti has ruled that EFCC lacked power to investigate finances of a State.

According to Governor Ayodele Fayose on his Twitter handle’on Tuesday he said’: ‘the court said, in federalism, the Federal Government is not an overseer or supervisor regarding finances of a State.

‘That only the State House of Assembly can investigate finances of a State.

‘Consequently, the EFCC has been restrained from interfering in the running of Ekiti State by either investigating or arresting any official of the State Govt.

‘We will continue to fight for the sustenance of our hard earned democracy, using legal means.’
