The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission has released billionaire businessman and lawyer, Tunde Ayeni, after
paying the sum of N100 million.
Mr. Ayeni was freed Saturday morning after he and other
officials of his bank, Aso Savings and Loans Plc, committed to paying up a
controversial N1billion naira the former management of the bank allegedly
passed to a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Bala Mohammed.
Sources said Mr. Ayeni personally made a cheque deposit
of N100 million naira with he and his colleagues promising to pay the balance
in the weeks ahead.
When contacted over the matter on Saturday afternoon, Mr.
Ayeni said the matter for which he was invited by the EFCC had to do with a
transaction carried out by the management of the bank.
