There was heavy security presence at the Federal High Court, Fate, Ilọrin, on Friday where former Governor of Kwara State, Alhaji Abdulfattah Ahmed, is being tried by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged misappropriation of N10 billion.

Same treatment was also meted out to members of the opposition PDP, friends and supporters of the former governor.
