From the BBC:
Missing Nigeria governor sacked
Mr Fayose says President Obasanjo is behind his impeachment
The governor of Ekiti State in Nigeria, has been impeached after MPs found him and his deputy guilty of corruption.
Ayo Fayose’s sacking has heightened tensions in the south-western state with riot police deployed in the state capital, Ado-Ekiti.
Mr Fayose is the third governor to be impeached since Nigeria returned to multiparty democracy in 1999.
He denies graft and is believed to have fled to another West African country to avoid possible arrest and trial.
