The EFCC has appealed a Federal High Court ruling that acquitted Abiodun Agbele, an associate of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, and three others in a N1.2bn money laundering case. The EFCC believes there is substantial evidence that the money, allegedly intended for national security, was unlawfully diverted to fund Fayose's governorship campaign. The EFCC seeks to overturn the ruling that stated Agbele and the others had no case to answer.
