Zach was the man that handled the finances of the state for the first four years of the Ajimobi government and he was said to have been substituted due to his rising profiles and ambition, he was oiling some political machineries ahead 2019 and this did not go down well for his principal who quickly replaced him and made him a consultant to the State government on projects.

Such was his rising influence, he placed many monarchs in the state on salary and he was said to be a bigger spender that the state governor, Abiola Ajimobi.

His lifestyle and activities attracted the EFCC , coupled with the many petitions and fraudulent allegations about him and he became a regular at the commission’s Iyaganku, Ibadan office.

Many in the State did not know that Zaccheus played a major role in the case of the EFCC, Heritage bank and the arrest of Governor Ajimobi’s son-in-law.
