Anti-graft operatives on Tuesday morning entered the Epe residence of former Lagos Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode and raided the building as part of an ongoing corruption investigation. EFCC spokesperson, Tony Orilade said Ambode is under a corruption probe, a few months after he left office.

The residence of the former governor’s chief of staff in the same Epe neighbourhood was also being searched. Billions of naira were allegedly misappropriated in the four years of Mr Ambode in office, and detectives have been busy trying to untangle all webs around the alleged corruption.

About two weeks ago, multiple bank accounts holding billions and linked to Ambode were frozen as part of the probe. Ambode denied links to both the accounts and any allegations of corruption while in office.
