Fayose allegedly shuts down Access Bank In Ekiti for stopping Fani-Kayode's wife's cash withdrawal

Yesterday, Gov. Fayose of Ekiti State forced Access Bank to shut down its operations in the state, after bank officials prevented Sonia Chikwendu Precious, the wife of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, from drawing funds from a flagged account, S.R reports.

Precious attempted to withdraw funds from an account linked to slush funds provided by detained former National Security Adviser, Dasuki. The account is part of the subject of Fani-Kayode's ongoing prosecution for fraud at a Federal High Court in Lagos.
Saharareporters learned that security officials concluded that an account opened at Access Bank by one "Sonia Chikwendu Precious," with account number 0024425113, was linked to money laundering.
The account was flagged after security and anti-corruption agents determined that it was one of the several accounts into which another former minister, Esther Usman Nenadi, paid illicit funds.
When Precious arrived at the bank to withdraw funds, bank officials contacted agents of the EFCC. The EFCC had earlier instructed the bank to alert security agents whenever anybody showed up to carry out transactions with the account.
EFCC officials in Lagos asked the Divisional Police Officer in charge of a police station near the Ajilosun branch of the bank in Ado Ekiti to release her on bail as EFCC agents in Lagos were unable to get to Ekiti on time to take a statement from her.
The DPO contacted Gov. Fayose, instead of going to the bank, who then rushed to the bank to free Precious. After freeing her, Mr. Fayose then marched back to the bank premises to close it down, swearing that it would never operate in Ekiti during the remainder of his tenure as governor.
