Fayose, along with his company, Spotless Investment Limited, faces an 11-count charge brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The charges stem from allegations of financial misconduct during his tenure as governor, involving funds reportedly traced to the office of the former National Security Adviser (NSA).
At the court session, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, representing Fayose, told the court the EFCC had failed to establish a prima facie case against his client.
Agabi, in his submission dated July 16, 2025, argued that a key figure in the alleged transactions, Abiodun Agbele, had not been charged, thereby weakening the prosecution’s claims.
