Court documents submitted by the EFCC indicated that Fayose made this move in order to cover his track.

An EFCC source said that although Fayose’s sister was based in the UK, she would have to report to the EFCC to answer to how involved she was.

“We know that she is based in the UK but she comes to Nigeria quite often. We want her to come and tell us her side of the story.”

The source said: “We have been able to establish that the house was bought from the proceeds of corrupt practices. The house was, however, bought in the name of Fayose’s sister. We need to question her to determine her level of involvement.

Fayose has been fingered in the on-going investigation in the disbursement and misappropriation of $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms through the office of the national security adviser.

Sambo Dasuki has been arrested and detained in connection to the issue while Musiliu Obanikoro reportedly gave N1.219 billion to Fayose.

Meanwhile, Alade Sunday who is a compliance officer of a bank in Akure, the Ondo state capital revealed that money was delivered to Fayose in court on Thursday, November 17 during the prosecution of Biodun Agbele who is an ally of the Ekiti governor.

Mike Ozekhome who is the counsel to Mr. Agbele cross-examined Sunday who added that N1million was paid into Fayose’s account on June 2 while another N895,315 was paid into the account on June 5,2014.

“The monies were packed in Ghana must go and green trampoline bags in two aircraft. “It took us about 45mins to offload the bags from the aircraft with the assistance of Olaolu Omotosho, and some security guards that followed Agbele whose name I cannot remember “After our discussion at the airport with the former minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro and Agbele, one Adewale A.O who introduced himself as the ADC to Obanikoro accompanied us, while Agbele insisted that the monies be counted.
