THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday raided the Lagos State residence of a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro.


The house is located in Park View Estate, Ikoyi.


Obanikoro has been on the radar of the EFCC for a while over his role in the $2.1 billion arms scandal that rocked the office of the National Security Adviser, held then by retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki.


Obanikoro was believed to have received a substantial amount from Dasuki for the governorship election held in Ekiti State, which was won by his party’s candidate, Ayo Fayose.


He was also believed to have received money for the 2015 presidential election as one of the South West coordinators for the bid of former President Goodluck Jonathan, who was seeking a second term.


Obanikoro has since left for the United States of America.

He said he has returned to school.

You're wrong sugar, every sensible person hates corrupt people. The crux of the issue is when you try to fight corruption with double-standards.

My Firstlieutenant,

Am waiting for the day u will see my comment, click like or share then write "I concur".

Why always seeing things differently?

bekpo:
Speak for yourself not Nigerians! You do not have the authority to speak onbehalf of Nigerians. Am a Nigeria and I am patient with the Government to reed this country of corruption. I believe in short term surffering for a greater prosperity. It is this impatience that lead us to where we r as a nation. Every body want to b reach in a day: short cut syndrome.

There is no sense in your questions.....
1. The money must be accounted for to the last cent
2. We are not interested in "everyone". We are specifically interested in those who got money meant for arms and diverted it to their private "pockets"
3. How you concluded that everyone got a stipend is ridiculous! Have you been smoking the Otuoke weed?

Eluwilussit:
Don't you think that the number of persons being accused will make the $2.1b amount to stipends after sharing? The simple thing to do is to arrest and try the chief culprits : Jonathan and Dasuki.

Some of these men being harassed may not have known the source of the money. It could simply have been pdp money. Just like the one apc used to execute their campaigns and elections was apc money.

It is ridiculous to assume that apc spent all the billions, matching pdp almost dollar for dollar, without persons like Amaechi, Tinubu and Fashola contributing from their stolen wealth.

Meanwhile Mr. Integrity has hired 15 SAS to defend his certificate forgery. Isn't it easier to just show the certificate? Hypocrisy and double standard is killing this government. Nigerians deserve better.

1. It is trite that when a case of that magnitude is being investigated, the money would be traced to every established recipients. Pray tell! What business was PDP into that a recipient will be funded through the office of the NSA and such persons will claim ignorance of the source of the money? How do you arrest your supposed "Chief Culprit" (Jonathan) without first building a case against him? How will you build such a case without bringing all who has "chopped" the money to book? Don't you see that people like Metuh, FFK et al have started mentioning GEJ.....

2. The money APC used for their campaign should also be investigated.......but then the question is on what premise? Note that the Dasuki's case is not an investigation of PDP campaign funds. It is an investigation of the $2.1b arms money which found it's way into PDP campaign. The challenge for you lot may be to establish the source of the supposed APC campaign funds. For example, why is it difficult for Wike to come up with a water-tight evidence that Amaechi used River's money for APC's campaign.

3. Don't jerk-off on PMB's current case. Let it run his course. The number of lawyers he used is irrelevant. If he's guilty, let the court decide

Eluwilussit:
From what you are saying, it appears to me that you presume that everyone who received money during elections, ought to know that it was part of the $2.1 billion? Really? - They were paid by ONSA so claiming ignorance of the source is stupid

If you are sincere, you should know that most of the people may not have an idea where the money came from. Didn't pdp raise funds, just like apc? So all funds donated to PDP were paid to ONSA?

A man of integrity should start from himself. I, like most honest Nigerians, don't care about pdp or apc. They are both the same. What most of us are saying is simple. Justice. Equity. Fairness. Free playing ground. Don't shield your corrupt sponsors, while chastising everyone from opposition.And you "well meaning Nigerians" believe allegations made and should not be proven?

You are talking of the courts? You are a hypocrite. When last did saint Buhari obey the courts? If we wait for the courts, trust me, we will wait for eternity and in vain. so what do you suggest? public lynching?
