State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Etop James, said the suspects, who claimed to be President Buhari’s private security aides, were arrested at the governor's Afao-Ekiti country home.
However, one of the suspects, Benedict Odiga, denied trying to obtain money from Governor Fayose under false pretence, saying he was in Ekiti to see the governor, which he said was successful.
He said: “We only used those documents to beat security so that we can get access to the governor. We did not have a sinister mission, nothing to achieve. We did not demand for money from the governor. Our mission was just to see him.”
Asked why the governor got them arrested, if they were there to help him escape impeachment as being rumoured, Benedict said: “We discussed with him and when he suspected that those documents were forged, he decided to call the police.”
