BREAKING: SEE photos of Fayose storming Zenith bank to withdraw N5m in CASH
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state on Thursday, December 15, stormed Zenith Bank in Ado Ekiti to withdraw money from his bank accounts.
The Ekiti state governor made a withdrawal of N5 million in cash on the accounts earlier frozen by the Economics and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Fayose thanked Nigerians for standing with him and against the recklessness of the EFCC.
His action is followed by the judgment of a Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, December 13, which ordered the bank to immediately ''defreeze'' the accounts.

Justice Taiwo Taiwo held that the anti-graft agency did not follow due process in taking such an action.
The judge described EFCC’s action as illegal, wrongful, unlawful and unconstitutional.
However the EFCC has vowed after the court order was issued that it would contest it.
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren confirmed the commission’s position, noting that it had made necessary moves for the appeal.
