Nigeria's Anti-Graft Agency Places Fayose On Watch List

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has asked the Nigeria Customs Service to put the outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on its watch list to prevent him from leaving the country. Fayose is being probed for conspiracy, abuse of office, official corruption, theft and money laundering. Fayose had written to the anti-graft agency that he'll turn himself in as soon as his second term expires on October 16, 2018.
