Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State.

is investigating the company for alleged conspiracy, abuse of office, money
laundering and theft.
The commission
has accused Samchese Nigeria Limited of giving fayose bribe to buy properties.
Meanwhile, the
EFCC is set to investigate some state governments that allegedly embezzled the
ecological funds given to them.
On Wednesday
that the anti-graft agency had received some petitions against some state
governors who diverted the funds.
A source at the
agency said, “We will probe some states involved in the diversion of ecological
funds but it will not be all the states and it will not be at the same time. It
will be on a case-by-case basis.”
It will be
recalled that the Ecological Fund Office was in 2014 directed by the Federal
Executive Council to fund the procurement and nationwide distribution of over
750,000 clean cooking stoves and 18,000 wonder bags, at a cost of over N9.2bn.
