Koro the great thief and one of the chief facilitators of corruption under Jonathan the ineffectual Buffoon

Your end is coming. You will vomit all those Yams by fire by force.

There is a good reason why Jonathan and his cronies vehemently opposed the candidature of General Buhari. The man is crazy, even as a Buharist, I fear him.

Koro siphoned moneys meant for our military to acquire houses in the US and he thinks he would get away with it? Rubbish!

Let us see if IPOB and Wailers will adopt him as their new son. I wont be surprised.

Thank God he is in the USA where there is legislative provision for his repatriation to Nigeria and if he decides to use his American citizenship to evade justice in Nigeria, he will spend decades in prison there for tax evasion and illicit activities in Nigeria.

I love this grin grin

They are not angels... What is happening is that;
1) Magu is after those that ate our National yam
2) No Apc member was top office holder in the past administration.
3) You don't mark your team mate during an open match in football... Else you cause disharmony in the squad. So if Tinibu and Amaechi is corrupt, that is left for Buhari to Discuss with them in secret
4) Efcc can catch Buhari and Amaechi because they were not connected to the fedral yam... If you want to argue about state yams, then we have to probe all state governors currently... Which is not Efcc's concern now...

That's my humble opinion. I stand corrected!!
Goodluck to Buhari...

God is really a nigerian, only wailing buffoons would argue this. I recall that Jide obanikoro would drive his dad's diplomatic car all across town enjoying diplomatic priviledges long after that his dad had served his term & had been recalled as an ambassador to Ghana, yet security forces allowed him free passage of way accompanied with an high salutation, just because his dad was the minister of state for defence. He & his brother became the untouchables. Obanikoro exalted his position via the cloak of high handedness under the cluelessness of Gej, the lord of the buffoons.
The long hands of justice has paid him a visit, a visit he & his family must surely entertain.

How many times will it need to be explained to you guys that protocol and good old logic is the reason why a government is only duty bound to probe that before it? Think about it for a minute. It is not rocket science. If an irresponsible thief like GEJ did not probe those before him and the distracted Yar Adua could not probe his benefactors , i.e OBJ, while the duplicitous OBJ himself could not probe IBB and others who helped him gain power, then why place the burden on Buhari's shoulder to do what these past three President failed to do?

Don't you guys understand anything about scope of responsibility? Must Buhari now come and be doing what 3 Presidents before him failed to do, i.e probe the respective predecessors OBJ, Yar Adua and GEJ failed to do or should Buhari simply concentrate on the government he took over power from as leadership responsibility compels him to do? You guys should learn to shun sentiments when you talk. You are essentially asking Buhari to be responsible for every stage in our history from independence when he is only duty bound to look mainly at the government he took over from and its wrongdoing. With your line of thinking then Buhari should probe lord Lugard as well since you guys don't understand that a sitting President cannot be held accountable for the negligence and inaction of others before him.

SaharaReporters has exclusively learned that two sons of Nigeria’s former Minister of State for Defense, Musiliu Obanikoro, are currently on the radar of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over a massive amount of monies transferred to their accounts from funds budgeted for the procurement of weapons and other equipment for the country’s military. Two sources at the anti-graft agency told a correspondent of SaharaReporters that the EFCC had traced N4.745 billion to the bank account of Sylvan McNamara Limited, a company in which the former minister’s two sons, Ibrahim Babajide and Gbolahan Olatunde Obanikoro, have major interest.

Our sources disclosed that the funds were paid in several tranches into the company’s account number 0026223714 with Diamond Bank. The sources added that the funds were paid from an account maintained by the Office of the National Security Adviser at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

One of the sources revealed that all the transfers were made between June and December 2014. The period coincided with the preparations for and the conduct of the Ekiti State governorship election, ultimately won by Ayodele Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party. SaharaReporters had exclusively obtained and released an audiotaped conversation in which Mr. Obanikoro, Mr. Fayose, former Minister for Police Affairs Jelili Adesiyan, and a few other PDP stalwarts instructed a top military officer, Brigadier General Momoh, on strategies for rigging the election for the PDP governorship candidate by intimidating supporters of then incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi. Mr. Kayode also inaugurated a new campaign mode he nicknamed “stomach infrastructure,” which involved the doling out of massive amounts of cash to voters.

One investigator involved in looking into transfers of funds to Sylvan McNamara’s account hinted that some of the cash was routed to Mr. Fayose’s campaign.

For instance, on June 5, 2014, N200 million was transferred into the account of the firm owned by Mr. Obanikoro’s two sons. On June 16, 2014, few days before the election of Mr. Fayose, N2 billion was wired into the account from the CBN account maintained by the Office of the National Security Adviser. Another massive transfer, this time of the sum of N700 million, landed in the Obanikoro-affiliated account on July 7, 2014. On July 30, 2014, N1 billion was credited to the firm’s account. Other transfers included N160 million on August 8, 2014, N225 million on August 22, 2014, N200 million on November 14, 2014, and N200 million on December 5, 2014.

Our sources disclosed that both Gbolahan and Babajide Obanikoro were listed as directors of the company earlier incorporated in 2011 by Ikenna Ezekwe, Idowu Oshodi and Elizabeth Adebiyi. They added that Mr. Obanikoro’s two sons were also signatories to the company’s account until 2014 when one Olalekan Ogunseye was made sole signatory.

Our EFCC sources disclosed that investigators had discovered no contracts to back or justify the hefty payments made by the Office of the National Security Adviser, then headed by retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki, to Sylvan McNamara Limited.


Mr. Dasuki and numerous politicians have been indicted for illicit disbursement of more than $2 billion budgeted for the procurement of weaponry to empower the Nigerian military in its counter-insurgency operations against Islamist militant group, Boko Haram. While Mr. Dasuki disbursed the defense funds to politicians at the orders of former President Goodluck Jonathan, the Nigerian Army suffered high casualties as Boko Haram fighters attacked and sacked several military barracks.

The former Defense minister, Mr. Obanikoro, is currently resident in the US where he is reportedly registered as a student of history at Oglethorpe University in Georgia, USA. One of his two sons linked with the massive fraud resides in Suwanee, Gwinnett County in the state of Georgia where they own real estate purchased in August 2014.
