In a report from TheCable, an official of the commission disclosed this to the news agency.

Photos of houses allegedly owned by the former Ekiti state governor were released by the anti-graft agency and it was insinuated that he profited heavily from the scandal involving former security chief, Sambo Dasuki.
Wilson Uwujaren, spokesman of the commission announced that investigation was ongoing in the case with the charismatic governor.
“In the course of investigating corruption allegations against ex-governor Ayodele Fayose, especially the N1.3billion which he collected from the office of the National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki, the Commission unearthed evidence that he laundered the funds into the acquisition of properties in choice locations in Abuja and Lagos,” Uwujaren said.
The governor has been adamant that he has done nothing wrong and that all of this is an elaborate attempt to bring him down.
