Former Senator and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, was on Friday night released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after he agreed to refund the over N1.3billion he allegedly received from the office of the National Security Adviser, people familiar with the matter have told PREMIUM TIMES.
The EFCC arrested Mr. Omisore in Abuja on July 3 for allegedly collecting the huge funds from a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
The former NSA is being prosecuted for allegedly mismanaging billions of dollars meant to procure arms and ammunition for the Nigerian military which has in the past five years been battling a deadly insurgency in the North-East of Nigeria.
The PDP chieftain had since his arrest battled hard to regain freedom from the custody of the EFCC.
The anti-graft commission moved him to the National Hospital, Abuja, after he complained that his health was failing. He was however kept under close watch by two well-armed police officers.
Then his lawyers approached the Federal High Court in Abuja to press for bail but the court, on July 15, dismissed the application for lack of competence.
This week, the former deputy governor capitulated, those close to him said. He approached the EFCC and agreed to refund the money he was alleged to have fraudulently received.
On Friday, the EFCC granted him administrative bail after he struck a deal with the commission to refund the N1.3billion in installments.
He paid the first installment of N300million before he was allowed to go home, this newspaper learned.
Those familiar with the negotiation said before his release on Friday, Mr. Omisore issued a letter authorising his bank to release N170million to the EFCC, being the entire amount in his frozen account.
He also gave the anti-graft commission a draft of N130 million, bringing the first installment of the repayment plan to N300 million.
Mr. Omisore, a former deputy governor of Osun State and PDP flag-bearer in the 2014 Osun governorship election, will return to the Commission on Monday for further negotiations regarding how he would stagger the refund of the remaining one billion, our sources said.
Mr. Omisore had denied benefiting from #Dasukigate and had sued the EFCC, seeking N10 billion damages, after he was declared wanted in May.
However, according to our sources, Mr. Omisore, while in detention, admitted to collecting the sum from Mr. Dasuki.
Mr. Omisore, our sources disclosed, had initially claimed that the over N1.3 billion he received from Mr. Dasuki was meant for a certain parcel of land he sold to the office of the NSA.
The politician was however unable to provide documents backing the transaction, those close to him said.
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached to comment for this story early Saturday morning.
Mr. Omisore too could not be reached by this newspaper. But the Nigerian Tribune quoted him as saying after his release, “Thanks for your support and prayers. I also thank my supporters for their steadfastness. I’m back at home in Abuja.”

Omisore the wimp.

Merriam-Webster defines a Wimp as somebody who lacks courage, confidence. It was not long ago, that this wimp was boasting and talking to the press that the Government or EFCC cant touch him, and he eventually sued the EFCC.

Hand come touch am.

Then he spent some few nights in the EFCC Cell, and he broke down and started confessing his "SINS". And he has even agreed to return back the FULL TUBER of YAM he ate, not half ohh, but the FULL YAM. He had not even tasted PRISON and he broke down. The EFCC CELL is like a Room in the Sheraton Hotel, compared to the Kirikiri Prison or Ikoyi Prison.

There must be something in this EFCC Cell, that makes people confess their sins real quick. Raymond Dokpesi when there and confessed his SINS and has been quietly returning his YAM.

Metuh visited the EFCC Cell too, and quickly confessed his SINS,and has started refunding his YAM. And now Omisore has visited there too, and his confession of his SINS is still fresh.

Abi EFCC CELL na Catholic Church wey you dey do CONFESSION to a Catholic Priest?

.

at first they call it witch hunt
later they confess to the crime

Omisore the alleged Murderer of Bola Ige, now realizes that he has to play ball on the Dasuki theft of 1.3 billion naira and get out of jail and strategise on how to beat the Murder rap of killing Bola Ige. The Feds has ordered the reopening of Bola Ige murder case.

All witches MUST be hunted down and jailed until they return the STOLEN money.

Up Buhari, Up APC!!!!!

he deny of taken any money from dansuki, but he has return 300Million naira for d repayment of what he did not take, that is irony,

Like Metuh, like Omisore. They denied ever getting a dime from Dasuki, dared EFCC to take them to court, then turn around to start begging EFCC to allow them return the money they once denied collecting once the reality of a long prison term hits them.

Very soon, FFK, Fayose, Obanikoro and others still denying will beg EFCC to return what they collected from Dasukigate.

OLESORE?

Hmmmmmmmm this is commendable

Nigerians r dying cuz of hunger, HIV patient r dying cuz of no drugs, salaries not paid cuz of economic crisis, Naira is loosing value, d less privileged r suffocating, yet looters r left untouched. If I catch am i go commit murder go jail self. After stealing such amount dem go church go pay tithe. Pastor go bless den hundred fold. Greedy, heartless, wicked, Nigerian politicians. Thunder fire dem, dier papa, dier mama,dier family n dier 100th generation 2 come. Dey r not worth being Nigerians, in fact one of d penalty for looters should be life imprisonment.or death.

I believe all those dancing to the beat of witch hunting are seeing that indeed PMB is really witch hunting the people that have milked all dry as a country. We will only move forward if we drop tribal and religion sentiment. Non of the alleged PDP member has really make an attempt to clear their name but all they do is play on the minds of gullible Nigerians.

Despite my reservation as regards to PMB led government, I give it to him in this anti corruption crusade. If witch hunting is easy as PDP symperthiser are saying it, GEJ should have adopted same approach to deal with APC while they were threatening his government. We should all support this government is the area of anti corruption fight.
