Drama as Fayose storms Zenith Bank, withdraws N5m, says ‘if EFCC attacks my accounts again, I will make big trouble with them’

Following the order by the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday that his accounts should be immediately unfrozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Thursday, stormed the Ado-Ekiti branch of Zenith Bank Plc, to demand for some funds from the accounts. 
Fayose stormed the premises of the bank about 1:20 pm and made straight for the office of the bank’s branch manager, Mr. Mojeed Adekunle, and presented a withdrawal cheque of his money in cash. 
He reminded the bank manager that he had called at the bank following  a court order, served on the bank on Wednesday, December 14, to unfreeze his accounts.
Handing out the checque, the governor said he was ready to wait till anytime his money would be given him in cash.
“I am ready to wait in your office till you close for the delay as I want my money in cash, ” he said firmly.
Obviously complying with the court order, Adekunle promptly produced a copy of the said court order and confirmed to the governor that his office already received a copy as reported and would act on the directive from the governor immediately. 
At exactly 3:20 after two hours, the governor left the bank with N5 million cash, saying: ” I came to the bank after serving them with the court order and I made up my mind that I won’t leave the bank until my money is given to me. And the bank has done the needful by giving me part of the money confirming that they have obeyed the court order. I want to thank Nigerians and my supporters for believing in our cause that Nigerians should not be oppressed. The rascality of EFCC must stop. And I want to thank the EFCC for obeying the court order. They placed order on two accounts, one has N82 million, the other has N300 million. I have collected N5 million now. I’m not closing the accounts but if they attack my accounts again, I will make trouble with them, big trouble. If EFCC is appealing the court judgement, that is their funeral. As a sitting governor, my immunity is absolute just like that of the President. They should tell EFCC to shut up. There is no authority other than the authority of the constitution of this country which I enjoy. Rubbishing the office of the governor is as the same as rubbishing that of the President because after the President, Governors are next. It is their time now, another people’s time will come tomorrow. There is no place for dictatorship in Nigeria,” he said.
