The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ilorin Zonal office has apprehended a member-elect of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Abdulgafar Ayinla, for his reported engagement in a N26 million property swindling.

The member-elect has also been prosecuted for forgery and acquiring money under false pretense.

According to the anti-graft agency, the lawmaker who is expected to be sworn-in on May 29, 2019, attested to the Commission of crime, adding that he used the money to aid his political campaigns.

The petitioner, who resides in the United State of America, stated that Ayinla who is a legal practitioner was introduced to her by her late aunt as capable of helping her purchase some properties in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

The petitioner said: "The Lawmaker-elect sold to me another two plots of land with four bedroom bungalow at window level at Agric area of Ilorin.

“I paid N8, 240, 000 (Eight million, two hundred and forty thousand Naira) commission of which Ayinla informed me that the seller had received his money, but he never paid the money to the seller up till today, and never refunded the money to me”

The suspect revealed that the money was diverted to his personal use and guaranteed paying back when he receives his wardrobe allowance from the Kwara State House of Assembly.

The EFCC says the lawmaker would soon be charged to court.
