The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission stormed the residence of Frank Ayade who is notably called the co-governor moment after he escaped to China deceiving Cross Riverians that he was on investment mission.
Although security details at the residence refused the operatives to search the place. They however have decided to confiscate the property. Policemen posted at the Mega Hilton Hotel also prevented the EFCC from searching the hotel.
The EFCC has however obtained all the accounts operated by Frank Ayade, and which were used to launder money belonging to Cross River State. Speaking with a source close to the investigation, Ifere was told that the EFCC will any moment from now declare Frank Ayade wanted if he fails to give himself up for interrogation.
Remember that Ifere petitioned the government of Cross River State over the misappropriation of the bailout fund it got from the Federal Government. The petition which was adopted on the 18th of July, 2016 has caused the State Government to declare him wanted.
However, Ifere can authoritatively say that Governor Ben Ayade was seen in Aso Rock on the 27th of July seeking for the intervention of the President on the matter. The presidency has already been informed of the illegality through which indigenes of the State are declared wanted.

The state governor should be impeach. How can we have a state run as a family business. Time and Time again we have seen politicians line their pockets with state and federal funds what kind of a country is Nigeria? It's time the masses do something by way of protest and get this hoodlums out of power.
