Can you believe this?

On who gave instructions to Diamond Bank for the release of N1.2 billion, Mr Obanikoro replied that “I was the only person that gave instructions to the bank’’.

I expect Otti to blame Okezie Ikpeazu as usual for bribing Obanikoro to implcate Otti. In fact for this betrayal Abians have decided not to relelect Ikpeazu for the third time when his second tenure ends in 2023

PDP Igbos n lies as usual.
Where was Alex Otti name mentioned in the whole conversation ? This is how they will tarnish this guy’s name till their lies become the truth. Many of these liars are cursed and they litter this NL in particular. The likes of pachukwudi77 n amarabee, they are saint to NL by their foolish PDP e.g the loud mouth Abaribe who stood surety for Kanu.

This same Kanu Amarabae n her husband pachukwudi77 helped in spreading the Biafra falsehood only to label Kanu a traitor because he want boycott Atiku n the election. Who knows maybe Abaribe is yet to wire another tranche of money to him to cooling fooling their gullible tribe just like Ojukwu fooled 2 million Igbos to their untimely death in the baiafran war.

“I was investigated for being privy to illicit transfer of funds,” — Obanikoro admits
February 5, 2019Agency Report

Former Ekiti governor, Fayose, arrives court for his criminal trial
A former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, on Tuesday admitted before a Lagos Division of the Federal High Court that he was investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for being privy to illicit transfer of funds.
Mr Obanikoro made the statement while giving evidence in the criminal trial of the immediate-past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, facing charges of an alleged N6.9billion fraud.
Mr Fayose was arraigned by the EFCC on October 22, 2018, alongside a company, Spotless Investment Ltd, on 11 counts.
He had pleaded not guilty to the charge, and the court had granted him bail in the sum of N50 million, with one surety in like sum.
His trial had commenced on November 19, 2018, with the EFCC calling four witnesses, while the court had then adjourned for the continuation of trial.
On Tuesday, Rotimi Jacobs, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, appeared for the EFCC, while Messrs Ola Olanipekun (SAN) and Olalekan Ojo (SAN) represented the first and second defendants respectively.

Mr Obanikoro, the fifth prosecution witness, who began his evidence on January 21, and was cross-examined on February 4, mounted the witness box in continuation of his cross-examination.
Under cross-examination by the second defendant’s counsel, Mr Ojo, Mr Obanikoro told the court that during his tenure as a Commissioner in Lagos in charge of Home Affairs and Culture, he had interfaced with various security agencies in the discharge of his duties.
According to him, he had sourced for a security outfit known as Sylva Mcnamara, owned by one Kareem Taiwo, to the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), when the need arose to provide for security operations in Lagos State.
He said the outfit performed credibly and did a good job.
Mr Ojo then asked the witness, “you said Kareem Taiwo did a good job,’’ witness replied “Yes’’.
Mr Ojo: “Then are you not surprised that a petition was still written by the NSA against both of you, for having gotten money from the NSA illicitly?’’
Mr Obanikoro replied in the affirmative and added: “And I state that I deserve a medal of honour for the great work I did in securing Lagos State then’’.
Mr Ojo: “’I’m sure you are aware of the offences you were alleged to have committed, for which you were granted bail by the EFCC,’’ witness replied `Yes’.
The defence counsel then asked the witness to tell the court the offence.
Mr Obanikoro replied: “It was based on a petition sent by the NSA that about N4.6 billion or thereabout was sent in an account operated by me, without proper documentation’’.
Defence counsel: “Will I be right to say that the allegations consisted of fraud?’’
Witness: “Until I see it.’’
Defence Counsel asked: “Are you still on administrative bail?’’
Witness replied: “Well, I have not been discharged, to the best of my knowledge.’’
Defence counsel: “It was also alleged that there were no approvals for the funds alleged to have been transferred to a number of companies listed in exhibit I, including Sylva Mcnamara,’’ the witness replied: “correct’’.
Defence counsel: “So I suggest to you that at all material time, you were being investigated to have been privy to the illicit transfer of funds.’’
Witness: “Correct.’’
Defence counsel: “Till today, the allegation of illicit transfer of funds has not been withdrawn against you by the EFCC’’.
Witness: “To the best of my knowledge, you are correct’’.
Defence counsel: “Did you produce any document to show the relationship between Kareem and the Office of the NSA, contrary to allegations that the NSA does not know him?’’
The witness replied: “No’’, and added that the Office of the NSA had responsibility for coordination of security across the nation, some of which are clandestine and not documented.
