Allegation
Following a petition from a group calling itself the Ekiti Patriotic Coalition, the EFCC invited and questioned Fayemi in June 2023 over alleged corruption and money laundering, reported in some outlets as a ₦4 billion misappropriation case.
Outcome / Status
Fayemi confirmed being questioned over the petition but disputed the specific ₦4 billion fraud characterisation, describing the underlying petition as coming from a 'faceless group' fronting for anti-Fayemi politicians; no charges were filed.
Administration's response
Fayemi publicly denied the specific fraud allegation while acknowledging the EFCC invitation over the petition.
