BREAKING: EFCC Declares Omisore Wanted by yns4real: 4:58pm On May 24, 2016
he EFCC, today May 24, 2016,
declared a former deputy governor
of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore
wanted. The former senator is
wanted in connection with a case of
receiving and misappropriating the
sum of over N700,000,000.00 [N700m]
from the Office of the National
Security Adviser [NSA], between June
and November, 2014.
Omisore has been elusive and
refused to report to the Commission
after invitation was extended to him
on April 7, 2016, requesting him “to
come and make clarification on the
ongoing investigation”.
Instead of responding to the
Commission’s investigation
Omosore had approached the FCT
High Court for the enforcement of
his fundamental human rights.
Justice
Husseini Baba Yusuf consequently
ordered that Omisore should only be
arrested through a due and legal
process.
The EFCC has now obtained a warrant
to effect the arrest of the politician,
who was part of the Ekiti rigging
tape. He was also alleged to have
plotted to use same tactics to rig the
Osun election but failed.

Arrest Warrant Issued For
Ekitigate Plotter Iyiola Omisore- SaharaReporters


http://saharareporters.com/2016/05/24/arrest-warrant-issued-ekitigate-plotter-iyiola-omisore


SaharaReporters can authoritatively report that the former Deputy Governor and Senator of Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).


According to a statement from the EFCC an arrest warrant has been issued for the embattled Mr. Omisore.


Iyiola Omosire was People's
Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recently concluded Osun
election Mr. Omisore is wanted in connection to receiving and misappropriating more than N700 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) in 2014.


It will be recalled that
SaharaReporters first broke news of the Ekitigate election scandal when top Peoples Democratic Party politicians, including Mr. Omisore, bribed Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh to assist in rigging the Ekiti State gubernatorial races. Mr.
Omisore was present during this meeting and was anxious to test these methods on his then upcoming 2014 gubernatorial election in Osun State. His election was foiled when whistleblower Captain Sagir Koli leaked the audio which ruined the group’s plans.


It was later learned that money was stolen by the then NSA Sambo Dasuki under the guise of national security funds and distributed to these plotters including Mr. Omisore, former Minister of State for Defense Musiliu Obanikoro, former Minister of Police Affairs Jelili Adesiyan, and current Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose.


The EFCC has also said that “instead of responding to the EFCC’s investigation Omisore had approached the Federal Capital Territory High Court
for the enforcement of his
fundamental human rights.”


This news follows reports published by SaharaReporters that the EFCC is closing in on Mr. Obanikoro, who featured prominently in the Ekitigate leak, and plans to make him a wanted man. Mr. Obanikoro has been hiding in the United States since 2015.
