Abiodun Agbele Arrested By EFCC Over N4.7billion Arms Fraud by erakab2006: 7:26pm On Jun 27, 2016
Abiodun Agbele, a close aide of Governor Ayodele Fayose has been arrested, insiders at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have told PREMIUM TIMES.
Mr. Agbele was arrested in Lagos by operatives of the EFCC who had been on his trail in the past one week over allegations that he received huge public funds from former Minister Musiliu Obanikoro and delivered same to Mr. Fayose.
He is currently being detained at the Lagos office of the anti-graft commission, this newspaper learnt.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said he had not been briefed on the arrest.
Lere Olayinka, a spokesperson for Governor Fayose, however, confirmed the arrest.
In a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES, Mr. Olayinka said, “Our attention has been drawn to the arrest of Mr Abiodun Agbele by the EFCC and we wish to say that we encourage the EFCC to carry out its investigations without politics as it is being done now.
“It must be pointed out that at no time was Mr Abiodun Agbele invited by the EFCC, and if he had been invited, he would have honoured the invitation. Therefore, there is nothing to celebrate in his arrest if it is not political.
“As already pointed out, Governor Ayodele Fayose does not have anything
to do with any fund from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA). He has stated how his election was funded and Zenith Bank that he said funded his election has not denied doing so.
“Also, the person said to have been arrested is an adult and will defend himself when the time comes. Subjecting him to media trial as EFCC has been doing since the inception of this government will only give our adversaries momentary sense of joy.
“We await reports of EFCC investigations and we hope that the anti-corruption agency will be civil enough to allow an open and transparent trial in competent court of law and not media trial just
to get at Governor Fayose because of his uncompromising stance against the misrule of the APC/Buhari led federal government.
“Whatever stories being circulated by the EFCC and its political allies can at best be regarded as rumour as we were all in Nigeria when Nigerians were told that $700m cash was found in the House of Mrs Diezani Allison Madueke and the story turned out to be lie.
“Finally, like we have maintained, Governor Fayose will remain resolute
in making his opinions known on national issues and will not be
intimidated.”

So, it's Buhari that made them take from the forbidden yams?

To me, any stile, deployed to fighting corruption is literally acceptable. You can name it witch-hunt or anything synonymous to that. Administration comes and administration goes, barracks still remain. Bubu has started the fight, it's left for us to finish it now. We are aggrieved because we are used to corruption, but that is an error on the highest denomination. I can judge clearly from the comments of some youths, both on NL and other social media pages, that we have no leaders of tomorrow amongst the present youth as we claim it. You can't be a good leader growing with a corrupt mind. Some of these youths believe in a party politics, and have lost credits for personalities in that party. Shame on you if you're one. I don't have a party and I will not stand in to defend one, yet, that does not make me a non patriotic. Let us stop walking on broken paths and learn to handle the fact. I don't know how this feel to you but I must say to you; ''If there exist a problem, it's either you're part of the problem or part of the solution.''...

Any benefit is good please don't give room for brave thieves. This is good we need to ask questions next time one boss is telling you to go and deliver money to anyone. Keep record and diary of everything even voice evidence if you have too.

Nothing is political in the arrest of this banker. If you follow the events of things, is it lawful for a banker to keep huge sum of money on behalf of a customer in his own personal account? It is part of the EFCC act that any transfer in excess of N5m (for individual) should be reported to the EFCC.

So you don't see anything wrong in the unfolding event. Fight corruption from all angles is good, but it is reasonable to start from an angle before it reaches other angles.
