BREAKING NEWS: Fayose Loots Civic Centre's Building Materials To Construct Own Events Centres

As usual, Governor Ayodele Fayose has resorted to the  looting of the left-over building materials, including stone blocks, at the abandoned massive Civic Centre in Ado-Ekiti and taken them to his personal numerous events centres  and lock-up shops scattered all over Ado Ekiti, the state capital, to complete his buildings.
According to some of the people engaged in the night theft, Fayose is hiding under the fresh escavation going on within the vicinity of the abandoned civic centre structure to engage KOPEK trucks at night to loot the abandoned building materials and take them to various sites where he is now using the stolen  strong blocks for the construction of his own properties.
One of the people engaged in the night theft told Ekiti Periscope:  "You will see those strong blocks there if you get to the building under construction opposite the Local Government Service Commission beside his newly constructed Vet office.
"This did not start now; it began when he was laying the foundation of his two buildings along Adebayo area of Ado-Ekiti."
Fayose is not new to looting  government property and converting them to personal use.
During his first term, he looted Ikogosi Resort which his predecessor, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, rehabilitated and equipped to start business operations.
Ikogosi drew visitors from far and wide as a tourist centre at the time until Fayose was elected governor.
As governor, he looted the tourist attraction, removing furniture items, fittings and electronics and carted them to equip his personal hotel called Spotless Hotel at Onigari area of the state capital.
About two years ago, Fayose returned to Ikogosi Resort again in the dead of the night to cart away furniture, electronics and fittings and took them to his Ibadan relaxation centre.
It will be recalled that an online publication, The Monitors, at that time broke the news of night looting of Ikogosi Resort.
According to the report at the time, Ikogosi residents noticed the movement of four trucks escorted by security vehicles  to the facility at 11.30pm. They kept vigil at strategic points along Ikogosi Resort until the four trucks returned with all of them fully loaded with stolen furniture, electronics and fittings.
By the time workers resumed duties in the morning, all the electronics, air conditioners and other items, were gone.
The tourists' centre that former Governor Kayode Fayemi built to a world standard and had started receiving visitors around the world is now in ruins, wearing the shadow of its old standard after massive looting and abandonment after Fayose sent the operators of the facility packing.
