The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it will appeal the order by Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State asking it to defreeze the accounts of Governor Ayo Fayose in Zenith Bank.
This was contained in a statement by the Commission on Tuesday after the judgement.
The statement was signed by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, who added: “While the Commission awaits the certified copy of the ruling, it is important to point out that this order contradicts another order by Justice M. B Idris of the Federal High Court, Lagos which gave the Commission the nod to freeze the accounts pending the conclusion of investigation.
“This order from a court of coordinate jurisdiction was not set aside by Justice Taiwo.
“In spite of this, the Commission has taken immediate step to appeal the order by Justice Taiwo.”
