The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reacted to claims that that Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose cannot be investigated because of his immunity as a sitting governor.
According to the commission, the immunity being enjoyed by any governor does not prevent the commission from investigating suspicious movements of money into his accounts.
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren told Vanguard that the anti-graft agency has the right to investigate any governor whose account is being used to move funds.
He said: "Immunity does not prevent EFCC from investigating suspicious accounts of those enjoying immunity and Fayose cannot be an exception."
Governor Fayose has called the action illegal, claiming he his a victim of the opposition party's tyranny.
