He said, “Obanikoro was able to return over N100m out of the money he received from Dasuki. He showed genuine commitment to returning more money and assist the EFCC with investigations and his passports were returned to him.

100m?? When he's being investigated for 4.7bn?

These guys are jokers..

So much for the fight against corruption

Obanikoro, Omisore recover passports from EFCC, ex-minister returns to US

October 21, 2018

Eniola Akinkuotu

A former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has retrieved his passports from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Sunday PUNCH can report.

This is despite a directive by the Federal Government that 50 persons under investigations for fraud exceeding N50m are restricted from travelling.

An impeccable source in the EFCC told our correspondent that Obanikoro, who has an American passport and a Nigerian one, met certain conditions before his passports were returned to him.
He said, “Obanikoro was able to return over N100m out of the money he received from Dasuki. He showed genuine commitment to returning more money and assist the EFCC with investigations and his passports were returned to him.

“The fact that the commission returned the passports to him does not mean that he has been cleared.”
Obanikoro has been under investigation since 2016 for allegedly receiving N4.7bn from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), in 2014.

The former minister allegedly handed over about N1.3bn to former Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and another N1.3bn to the then Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Osun State in 2014, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
After Fayose was arrested by the EFCC last Tuesday, however, it was learnt that Obanikoro travelled to the US.

“Obanikoro travelled out on Wednesday evening, saying he wanted to go for medical treatment. He gave no date when he would return,” a source said.

The former minister, who has defected to the All Progressives Congress, had declared his intention to run for the Lagos West senatorial district election but shelved his ambition at the last minute.

Meanwhile, it was learnt that Omisore had also recovered his passport from the commission.

The former federal lawmaker was arrested by the EFCC in 2016 for allegedly receiving money from Dasuki through Obanikoro.

He subsequently returned N300m to the EFCC but his passport was seized by the commission.

Omisore had written to the EFCC, requesting that his passport be returned to him so that he could travel for medical treatment but his request was turned down.

Meanwhile, it was learnt that Omisore had also recovered his passport from the commission.

However, the Osun State deputy governor, who recently contested the governorship election of Osun State on the platform of the Social Democratic Party, entered into an undisclosed agreement with the APC when the election was declared inconclusive.

He was reported to have entered into a series of negotiations with the APC leadership to support the APC candidate in the poll, Gboyega Oyetola, but the details of the negotiations were never made public.

It was during the negotiations with the leadership of the APC that Omisore was said to have recovered his passport from the anti-graft agency.

Omsiore’s media aide, Mr. Jide Fakorede, had said recently that his boss was no longer under investigation by the EFCC and that he was free to travel.

He had said, “Senator Iyiola Omisore was wrongly accused in 2016 and he surrendered himself to the EFCC for investigation and was given a ‘clean bill of health’ by the anti-graft body after a thorough investigation.

“It is on record that no case was instituted against him in any court of our land and neither was he arraigned before any court either. He has been enjoying his freedom and has even presented himself for election into public office passing through all security screenings. So we ask, what is the noise about?

“The basis for placement on the watch list and travel ban is to ensure that those answering EFCC charges are held within the country and for someone not having a current case with the anti-graft agency, there may be no basis to restrict his movement.”

Attempts to speak with the spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, proved abortive as he did not respond to phone calls on Saturday.

When contacted on the telephone, Omisore rejected our correspondent’s calls and subsequently sent a text message saying, “Sorry, I can’t talk right now.”

Our correspondent sent a text message to him on whether it was true that he had retrieved his passport from the EFCC based on his agreement with the APC but he had yet to respond as of press time.


Meanwhile, it was learnt that the EFCC had slammed five charges against former Governor Ayodele Fayose.

Barring any last minute changes, the former governor will be arraigned in Lagos this week for allegedly receiving money from Dasuki through Obanikoro.

You better get out of here and go hawk gala at ikorodu express way before osusumaye strike you dead

Later you'll tag me an aggressive youth now. You've resorted to insult when facts stare at you. I'm not writing my SSCE, Oga I'm a graduate and the best graduating student in my department. Argue reasonably next time.. hear...

KINGinVAHALA:
Nigga, not my fault if you have comprehension problem. I said one of the best. Except you wish to argue or rather counter the one of the best that I said

If you don't know what to say, you better hold your lips.

KINGinVAHALA:
Does been an employer equate to becoming a good president? Need I remind you that Obama was never an employer, but today he is regarded as one of US best ever president.

Obama best US president

Hei! Later we'll be labelling other animals as the most dangerous animals in the world..

The most dangerous living thing on planet earth is Man!

Man: The only animal that kills its kind.


El Rufai please pay them, so they'd stop abeg. We can't loose more of our citizens.. Pay them ASAP since that has always been your solution to this problem

Even if it's just 5 people that is in Atiku's workforce, it's still better than Oga Buhari that has only 1 nomadic man tendering to his 150 gay cows.

Besides how many people did Prof. Osinbajo employ?

We need Debates!!

An intelligent person would have analyzed how using Ministers would be better than the perm secs buhari used at the onset of his administration, after which you take us round the world to buttress where perm secs failed and Ministers did better, in the usual Nigerian youth lazy syndrome, you just told us using perm secs are bad, then what?
Appeal to sensibilities of enlightened minds by discussing issues the way it should, not regurgitating baseless sermons of lazy youths.






So why did the banks remain profitable after TSA implementation? Do you know any Nigerian bank that made less than 15b naira in profit
after tax same year TSA was implemented? when was the last time Banks lent those monies to the real sectors of the economy?
What is financial turmoil? if you read a factual note, you approach it with facts not hallucinations, what are the turmoil? what was its effects on the economy? when you tell us that, then we go to the books of the banks for proof, I dare you to try!!





There was no "tightening" of foreign exchange anytime CBN does not have forex to give anybody, how is it tightening? can you give what you dont have? Today that we have over $47b in reserves, is the CBN tightening anything? use your common sense.





You just have run out of ideas, go and tell them you have $100b in reserve then you will know they already know your account balance, Do you know foreign reserves of most African countries including Nigeria's are domiciled abroad? how can you say what they already know?shallow opinion.





Please show us where buhari devoted Billions of dollars for oil search in the lake Chad?





Crap!! relate it to the economy.





Why did the US nearly double its budget when they were in recession in 2008? some of you dont know anything about governance, when your economy is heading towards recession, you must increase spending to inflate it back because recession shrinks your GDP, have you heard about Obama's stimulus package? what do you think it means? damn!! the amount of block heads in this country, jeez!! You shout your president is doing the wrong thing when you dont even know the right thing to do?

You have really done well to add insults to everything you wrote up there. Don't worry, I'll have your time and reply you in your coins. I never insulted you but you have started it o. I'm coming, wait for me

Bia be sensible na. We are mourning here

NAPTIP or whichever agency is responsible should do everything to save this girl. She was raped, thrown into drug trafficking and now in jail. See type of leaders Ohanaze wants to foist on us.

A nigerian girl was arrested in peru and she accused a Nigerian politician of sponsoring her.. and the news didn't make headlines? Just reported on one tiny website? You should know fake news when you see one

This one na bikini?? The girl is naked. These are nude pictures

It is quite unfortunate that these people have sunk so low to start throwing tantrums without no proof whatsoever.

Mr. Peter Obi graduated with a 3rd class, hian is that one an issue?? I don't even need to start mentioning names of prominent people and Nigerian politicians who made a 3rd class.. it's irrelevant.
Mind you, the famous Albert Einstein made a 3rd class in school.

I have one thing to say to all the drug related allegations.. shame on you all. Both the writers of the article and promoters of this article.. They believe every successful Igbo man is a drug dealer. Since there is no dent on Mr. Peter Obi profile, and how he got wealthy so young, they had to assume he's a drug dealer.

Mind you, it wasn't Peter Obi that was arrested in the US for being involved in a drug dealing case. People who knew Obi and how he and his parents ran one of the biggest supermarket in Onitsha can attest to the fact that he has always been a hustler. Even while in school, Peter Obi sold shirts. A very close associate of his once told me that even as Peter Obi was selling shirts, he didn't wear nice shirts.. that's how prudent he is.

For the story of the girl claiming Peter Obi gave her drugs. Thats just cheap blackmail. There is no such person, it's just a fabricated story. Though I'm not concluding, we'll like to see this person live and not make conclusions on reported speech character..

NB: the story is only listed on one tiny website. May30.org, for all I know it's from Biafran apologists.

These stories first surfaced when Peter Obi was seeking a second term. When he had already won the election riggers in court after 3 years, won them again when they tried to make him not complete his term by planning for an election after he had spent just 1 year in office and won again to come back after they impeached him. Everybody in Anambra knows how rascal Anambra was before Peter Obi came and the story of how he fought them.

The op didn't copy the whole story. Another one said his wife's father is an occultic man. Wetin person no wan hear..

BMC, continue digging.. but I'm happy to tell you that you won't find anything. In addition, if you guys want to talk about people with drug cases.. we'll be very glad to talk about it.

If this is true... then shame on this man!

AZeD1:
Are you sure you can read? The Article states that Atiku had a 17.2% stake in intels before he sold some of that to Tinubu.

How does Tinubu who owns less than 17% become the majority shareholder?

Why should Tinubu buy even 1% of shares in a company that supposedly 'bunkers' oil??

MalcoImX:
And why is FFK instigating and inviting violence on a sitting president? We've begun to read of security reports of some politicians storing arms in order to cause unrest, and now this. Should he be invited for explanation now, he'll begin to say Buhari wants to kill him in jail.

Shatap there. As if your useless party men didn't say worse in 2015.

Amaechi said they'll set up a parallel Govt should Jonathan refuse to step down.

One of them too made this exact Gbagbo statement too. Let me make my research

Prof relax, you don't jack about Buhari's intentions. First and foremost, is his plan for your godfather Tinubu as from 2019.

When Buhari wins 2019, He's coming after Tinubu with everything. Shey he feels he's a landlord..

First it was INTELS, using Saraki, then using Oyegun, next the Ambode issue.. After 2019 elections, should Buhari win, the entire Lagos state books will be opened for investigations. Then we'll now know the stance of all the supposed nationalists here on Nairaland.

As for Ajaokuta steel plant, don't decieve the public, Buhari has serious plans to sell it since he knows he can't get it to work and can't deceive the general public anymore

Buhari in 2015: "My running mate, Prof Osunbade..."
