EFCC Uncovers Payment Of N1.310b To Omisore, Firms by shaddoww: 7:26am On Jun 23, 2016 |
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has uncovered payment
of N1.310billion to three firms linked with a
former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Iyiola
Omisore.
The cash was part of the N4.74billion which a
former Minister of State (Defence), Musiliu
Obanikoro hauled to Governor Ayodele Fayose
in a chartered plane on June 12, 2014.
The firms are Fimex Gilt Limited, Metropolitan
Consortium and Sawanara.
Preliminary findings indicated that the
companies’ accounts in which the
N1.310billion was paid into allegedly belong to
Omisore.
According to a report by the EFCC, the
N1.310billion traced to Omisore and the three
companies was remitted as follows: Fimex
Gilt Limited (N160m) -8/8/2014in UBA;
Metropolitan Consortium (N350m)—9/7/14 in
First Bank; Sawanara (N300m)—1/8/14 in
First Bank and Metropolitan Consortium
(N350m)-1/8/14 in First Bank.
A top EFCC source, who spoke in confidence,
said: “Preliminary findings have shown that
N1.310billion out of the N4.745billion from
ONSA was remitted to the three firms and the
accounts of these three companies belong to
Omisore. This is one of the reasons we have
invited the former Deputy Governor but he is
yet to show up.
“We have also declared him wanted and we
are still looking for him.”
In an affidavit before a court, Omisore once
admitted that he had a link with Fimex Gilt
Limited as a director.
He said the EFCC was desperate to arrest
and humiliate him.
He said although he was a director of the
company, he had since resigned.
He said he loaned the company through its
MD the “funds required to perform the
contract.”
He added: “That upon the company’s receipt
of the payment from ONSA for the contract,
the MD repaid to me the prior sum I had lent
to Fimex Gilt Limited after I had resigned as a
director of the company.
“That since resigning as a director of Fimex
Gilt Limited, I have no further interests,
affiliations or dealings with same and I was in
no way involved in the performance of the
contract between ONSA and Fimex Gilt
Limited.
The anti-graft agency wrote to Omisore on
April 7, inviting him for interrogation.
The letter, signed by Abubakar Madaki on
behalf of the Acting Chairman of EFCC, reads
in part: “The commission is investigating an
alleged case in which your name featured
prominently.
“In view of the above, you are kindly
requested to interview the undersigned on
Monday, 11th of April 2016 at No.30, Harper
Crescent, Wuse Zone 7 at 10am.
“Your cooperation in this regard is solicited.”
Instead of honouring the invitation, Omisore
wrote through one of his lawyers, Wole Jimi-
Bada and Co., that the interview should be
rescheduled to April 14.
The counsel said: “We regret to inform you
that our client travelled briefly out of Abuja
but will return by Wednesday evening
accordingly to our instructions. Consequently
and unfortunately, he will not be able to
attend the interview scheduled for Monday,
11th April 2016 as requested in your letter
under reference. thenationonlineng.net/efcc-uncovers-payment-n1-310b-omisore-firms/ |

Efcc uncovered this, Efcc uncovered that. Nonsense.. The same way they uncovered, discovered, located one money of the other, still nothing to show for it. Eg, dasuki, olisah metuh, etc. Where the money wey dem recover?? If Efcc says they saw 2.1 billion in a man's house, be very sure it was more Dan dat. They've taken their share out of it. 1 Like |
