Tunde Odesola and Eniola Akinkuotu
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has traced N1.310bn to some company accounts allegedly belonging to a former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
The money was said to be part of the N4.7bn allegedly disbursed by a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, and his two sons, Gbolahan and Babajide.
The N4.7bn was said to have emanated from the account of the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2014 and then transferred to the Diamond Bank account of Sylvan McNamara, a company in which Obanikoro’s sons are the signatories to its bank account.

Omisore, who has since been declared wanted by the anti-graft agency, allegedly received the funds in four tranches from Sylvan McNamara between July and August 2014, a few weeks before the Osun State governorship election which he lost.
A document detailing the transaction showed that the money was paid into three company accounts allegedly belonging to Omisore.
A detective at the anti-graft agency explained, “On July 9, 2014, N150m was paid into the bank account of Sawanara at First Bank. On August 1, 2014, N300m was paid into Sawanara Limited.
“On August 8, 2014, about N160m was paid into the bank account of Fimex Gilt Limited domiciled at UBA. On the day of the election, August 9, 2014, N350m was paid into the First Bank account of Metropolitan Consortium.”
Omisore had, however, denied receiving any money from the ONSA.
Speaking in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, on Wednesday, Omisore said the Federal Government was out to nail him and other members of the opposition at all cost.
He said, “I don’t know Dasuki from Adam. I never went to his office. The Federal Government is just using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to victimise and embarrass me.
“They had said I received N600m, they later said N1.9bn, now they are saying n1.3bn. Which of these figures do they want to pin on me? They have kept shifting the goalposts at will.”
The former deputy governor had also sued the EFCC for N10bn and prayed a Federal High Court in Abuja to grant him an order of perpetual injunction restraining the “defendants (the EFCC) either by themselves, their agents, officers, servants, privies or otherwise however called from making such or similar defamatory publication of and concerning the plaintiff (Omisore) to any person or persons.”
Meanwhile, the sons of Obanikoro on Wednesday shunned the invitation of the EFCC.
The anti-graft agency had last week stormed the home of Gbolahan and Babajide and seized the property located at 10 Mojisola Street, off Banana Island Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.

John Alechenu, Kamarudeen Ogundele and Eniola Akinkuotu
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to invite Mrs. Feyisetan Fayose, the wife of Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, for receiving N100m through an account which is operated by her and her husband.
According to the EFCC, the money, which emanated from the account of the Office of the National Security Adviser, was paid into the Zenith Bank account of Spotless Investment Limited on June 17, 2014, less than a week to the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti State.
The money was paid into the company’s account with bank teller number 0540997 by Abiodun Agbele, an associate of the governor.
The two signatories to Spotless Investment Limited’s account are Fayose and his wife.
An EFCC detective told one of our correspondents, “N100m was paid into the Spotless Investment Limited account with number 1010170969 at Zenith Bank. The two signatories are Fayose, with Bank Verification Number 22338867502, and his wife, Helen Olayemi, with BVN 22298990256.”
The account has since been frozen by the anti-graft agency.
As a sitting governor, Fayose cannot be prosecuted or arrested because he enjoys immunity.
“His wife, however, has no immunity,” the source added.
The PUNCH had reported on Wednesday that N1,219,490,000 was flown to Akure Airport on June 12, 2014, by a former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, ahead of the June 21, 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State.
The money was said to have been part of the N4.7bn, which was paid into the Diamond Bank account of Sylvan McNamara by the Office of the National Security Adviser. Sylvan McNamara is a company in which Obanikoro’s sons are signatories.
A large chunk of the N1,219,490,000 was said to have been paid into Fayose’s private and company accounts, including the N100m, which was paid into the account of Spotless Investment Limited.
PDP, APC bicker over anti-corruption fight
Meanwhile, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday described the freezing of the personal accounts of Fayose as politically motivated.
The party said it had observed with dismay the dangerous trend of “politically-motivated trials and tyrannical administration” of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress.
The PDP demanded that the ruling party must stop the witch-hunt in the interest of peace and stability of our nation.
This was contained in a statement by the Publicity Committee of the PDP Caretaker Committee, Mr. Dayo Adeyeye.
The party described the freezing of Fayose’s personal account as unlawful, undemocratic, autocratic, oppressive, draconian and the height of desperation by the Buhari administration to cover up for its failure to deliver on his campaign promises to Nigerians.
Adeyeye stated, “This government is all out to silence any voice of the opposition. Nigerians will recall that Chief Olisa Metuh, the former National Publicity Secretary of our great party, is today standing trial for receiving campaign funds and since his arrest and prosecution by the anti-graft agency, Chief Metuh could not challenge the APC government on policy issues until he left office.
“Nigerians will also recall that one of the known opposition voices, apart from some individuals and governors of our party, who has exposed the APC-led administration for running the country aground in the last one year, is the former spokesman for the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode; and he is now standing trial for receiving campaign funds from the Director of Finance of the Campaign.
“ It’s now the turn of the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, who has been consistent in condemning the woes the APC government brought upon Nigerians and for remaining critical of the APC and President Buhari’s administration.”
The party condemned the freezing of Fayose’s personal account and asked the EFCC to unfreeze the bank account immediately, saying the action violated Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution, as a sitting governor could not stand trial until after office.
In its reaction, the APC said the opposition PDP did not have the right to dictate how the Buhari-led administration should fight corruption.
APC said this in a statement by its National Secretary, Mai Mala Buni, in Abuja, on Wednesday.
The party said this in its reaction to the declaration by the PDP National Assembly caucus that it had withdrawn its support for the Buhari administration following what it called the persecution of its members.
Buni said, “For the umpteenth time, the PDP and their agents do not have the luxury of dictating how the current administration and the anti-corruption agencies carry out their legitimate duties of investigating and prosecuting cases of corruption as long as they conform to the rule of law.
“The PDP Caucus must be reminded of their primary responsibility of law-making and representation of their constituents at the National Assembly.”
The ruling party advised the PDP Senate Caucus not to allow “political shenanigans” to becloud the overall national interest.
It said the caucus’ allegations of a selective anti-corruption fight and “belligerent” stance of the current administration was hogwash and baseless.
How my campaign was funded –Fayose
Also, on Wednesday, Fayose explained that his 2014 governorship election campaign was funded by the Zenith Bank, fundraising, donations from friends and associates as well as sales of campaign souvenirs.
The governor was reacting to media reports that the EFCC traced N4.7bn from the ONSA to his account and the company account of the two sons of Obanikoro.
Fayose in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, challenged the EFCC to publish statements made by Obanikoro, his sons or any other person associated with money from the NSA’s office, where they claimed they gave him money for the election.
He stated, “I have no financial transaction whatsoever with the Office of the National Security Adviser under Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), and former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, either by cash, cheque or electronic transfer.
“The EFCC is only acting a movie scripted, produced and directed by the All Progressives Congress government of President Muhammadu Buhari just to silence me, being a major opposition voice in the country.”
Narrating how he came about the money found in his Zenith Bank account, the governor said, “The management of Zenith Bank, which majorly funded my election, called me to a meeting, where I was asked to nominate a trusted ally to be related with and I nominated Mr. Abiodun Agbele.
“All the payments into Abiodun Agbele’s account domiciled in Zenith Bank were directly from Zenith Bank.
“Most of the funds posted into Agbele’s account were through the Ibadan, Akure and Lagos branches of the Zenith Bank and sometimes; they brought cash.
“Assuming but not conceding, that cash moved from Lagos to Akure as being claimed by the EFCC in its usual manner of media trial, was meant for my election in Ekiti, why was the cash not moved to Ado Ekiti branch of Zenith Bank or the cash handed to me directly?
“I wish to state further that if it becomes evidently clear that those who willingly provided money for my election can no longer stand by what they did, maybe because of threat from the EFCC, I will not hesitate to name names.”
The governor called on the EFCC to beam its searchlights on the funding of the APC elections, especially that of the President.
Fayose added, “Since we are now in the era in which financial assistance from Nigerians to fund elections is being criminalised, the international community, especially those funding EFCC, must insist that the commission probe the funding of APC elections before further funds are released to the commission.
“Most importantly, Nigerians are interested in the $60m allegedly donated to the APC campaign by Sahara Energy, on which the EFCC has been forced to suspend investigation.”

Sunday Aborisade and Ade Adesomoju
A last-minute effort by the leadership of the Senate to frustrate the scheduled arraignment of its presiding officers, Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, at a Federal Capital Territory High Court, failed on Wednesday during a closed session that lasted for about two hours.
The PUNCH learnt that the leadership had suggested the withdrawal of the case by the litigants, who are members of the Senate Unity Forum, a suggestion that the affected persons turned down on the grounds that the case was now being handled by the Federal Government.
Saraki, according to a Senator, who spoke to one of our correspondents on condition of anonymity because it was against the Senate convention to disclose issues discussed in the execute session, appealed to the litigants to withdraw the case in line with the recommendations of the peace committee.
The Senate Peace and Reconciliation Committee, led by Senator James Manager, had, in its report, recommended among others, the withdrawal of the suit, the recomposition of the committees and the disbandment of groups within the Senate.
One of our correspondents learnt that members of the SUF, who took the case to court, said the matter was now beyond them as the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, had taken over the case.
The source added, “The senators, who went to court, were of the opinion that the case had attained another dimension because it was the Federal Government that is now prosecuting those who allegedly produced the fake document.”
A copy of the document obtained on Wednesday showed that the panel accused Saraki of unduly favouring some members in appointments to juicy committees.
The panel recommended the restructuring of the committees so that the aggrieved senators would be pacified.
I can’t face CCT, forgery trials together, Saraki tells court
Meanwhile, Saraki, has asked a High Court of the FCT, Jabi, Abuja, to quash the forgery charges instituted against him and other co-defendants.
He urged the court to, in the alternative, adjourn the case indefinitely.
Saraki, in the application, which his lawyer, Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN), filed on Wednesday, said compelling him to face the fresh forgery charges alongside his ongoing trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal would jeopardise his right to fair hearing.
The Senate President is currently being prosecuted before the CCT on 16 counts, including false and anticipatory asset declaration.
On June 10, the Federal Government preferred two counts of criminal conspiracy and forgery of the Standing Rules of the Senate, used for the leadership election of the presiding officers of the Senate in June, 2015, against him (Saraki), Ekweremadu and two others.
The two other co-accused persons are a former Clerk to the National Assembly, Salisu Maikasuwa, and his then deputy, Benedict Efeturi.
The Federal Government stated that the offence of criminal conspiracy was punishable under Section 97 (1) of the Penal Code Act; and offence of forgery with “fraudulent intent” was punishable under Section 364 of the same law.
Justice Yusuf Halilu of the FCT High Court in Jabi, Abuja, in whose court the accused persons were charged, had, on Tuesday, ordered that the charges preferred against them be pasted to the notice board of the National Assembly.
The judge fixed Monday (June 27) for the arraignment of the four accused persons.
But in his fresh motion, Saraki challenged the competence of the charges, which he said disclosed no prima facie case against him.
He also contested the mode of service by pasting of the court summons alongside the charges to the notice board of the National Assembly on Tuesday.
He asked the court to set aside the service for being invalid.
He also sought as his alternative prayers, “An order of this Honourable Court suspending or adjourning sine die all the proceedings against the 3rd Defendant in the instant Charge No. CR/219/16 between FRN v. SALISU ABUBAKAR MAIKASUWA & 3 ORS., pending hearing and determination of the Charge against the 3rd Defendant at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Abuja in Charge No. CCT/ABJ/01/15 between FRN v. DR. OLUBUKOLA ABUBAKAR SARAKI.”
Raji stated as grounds of the motion that, “No prima facie case has been disclosed against the 3rd Defendant (Saraki) in this charge.
“There is no link between the proof of evidence and the allegations made against the 3rd Defendant in the charge.
“The 3rd Defendant is currently standing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged offences under the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act in Charge No. CCT/ABJ/01/15 between FRN v. DR. OLUBUKOLA ABUBAKAR SARAKI.
“Accelerated hearing has been ordered for the prosecution of the said trial, in consequence of which the proceedings therein are being conducted on virtually day-to-day basis.
“The 3rd Defendant requires adequate time and facilities for the preparation of his defence.
“The prosecution of this charge concurrently with the other one being tried at the CCT will not only work great hardship against the 3rd Defendant, but will also deny him an opportunity to a fair trial.
“This honourable court has inherent judicial powers to grant all the relief sought above.”
An affidavit deposed to by a lawyer in Raji’s law firm, Mr. Dolapo Kehinde, and filed in support of the motion, stated that the forgery charges were preferred against Saraki in bad faith.
The affidavit stated that compelling the Senate President to face the fresh charges would distract him from giving full attention to his legislative functions in a time of economic emergency in the country when the cooperation of the three arms of government was most needed.
The affidavit read in part, “I know that sometime in September 2015, the said Charge in Exhibit ‘B’ was filed and served on the 3rd Defendant, and he is still standing trial in respect of same, particularly because the prosecution is yet to close its case.
“It is common knowledge that the legislative roles, administrative duties and national obligations of a Senate President can neither be underplayed nor undermined.
“It is also common knowledge that the country is currently wading through tough economic situations, while the national stability is at a precipice, thus, requiring constant need of immediate legislative interventions.
“I am aware that the Nigerian people have enough economic hardship at this time, requiring the full attention and cooperation of the three arms of government, instead of these attempts to distract and politicise governance; especially because the country is in a state of economic emergency such that what the National Assembly needs at this time are executive bills and proposals aimed at resolving the crises of unemployment, currency depreciation, inflation, crime, insecurity etc.
“I know that the charge in Exhibit ‘B1’ has consistently constituted a distraction, although the 3rd Defendant has dexterously managed the situation to the amazement of all and sundry.
“The preferment of the instant Charge is a precipitated decision made in bad faith, not only with an odious intention to scuttle legislative business at the Senate, but also a move to further throw the country into greater instability, such that distract senators from their oversight functions and accountable governance.
“I know that the concurrent prosecution of this Charge with the other one at the CCT will not only work great hardship against the 3rd Defendant, but will also deny him an opportunity of a fair trial.
“In the interest of justice and fair play/trial, it is imperative that proceedings in this suit are suspended or adjourned sine die , pending the determination of the proceedings/trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.”
Challenging the competence of the charges and the service further, the supporting affidavit added that no attempt to personally serve Saraki was made.
The affidavit stated, “No attempt was made by the Complainant to effect personal service of the Information/Charge on him.
“The oral application of complainant’s counsel to serve him by substituted means was made
mala fide .
“This Honourable court has inherent judicial powers to grant all the relief sought above.
“It is in the interest of justice to grant this Application.”
The affidavit also stated that the petition written and sent to the Inspector-General of Police by the Unity Forum senators on June 30, 2015, did not mention his client’s name, adding that the document allegedly forged was also not included in the proof of evidence.
He said there was no proof of investigation of the case and that none of the proposed prosecution witnesses mentioned his name in their written statements.
The affidavit also read, “The said Petition does not mention the name of the 3rd Defendant or anybody at all suspected to have participated in the alleged forgery, but only implores the Police to cause an investigation to be conducted on the matter.
“The proof of evidence is not supported with either the Old Standing Rules or the allegedly forged Standing Rules.
“The Statements of the 1st & 2nd Defendants neither state that the purported Standing Rules was forged nor does it name the 3rd Defendant or any person at all as part of those who carried out the alleged forgery.
“Listed as witnesses to be called by the Prosecution are: Senator Suleiman Othman Hunkuyi, Senator Ita Enang, Senator Solomon Ewuga, Dr. Ogozy Nma, Adem J, D.I.G Dan’ Azumi J. Dama, ACP David Igbodo, Senator Ahmed L. Lawan, Senator Abdullahi A. Gumel, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, Senator Robert Borofice, Senator Abu Ibrahim, Senator Ojudu Babafemi.
“The aforementioned persons all volunteered statements to the Police, except D.I.G Dan’ Azumi J. Dama and ACP David Igbodo, who neither volunteered any statement nor presented any report of investigation.
“The statements of all the intended witnesses neither mentioned the 3rd Defendant nor any other name at all as participants in the alleged forgery.”

Forgery charges against Saraki, others in order –Falana
Also, a human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), said on Wednesday that there was nothing wrong in preferring the fresh forgery charges against Saraki and other co-defendants.
Falana, who spoke with one of our correspondents on the telephone, said the Senate also lacked the power to summon the AGF, Malami, over the case.
He stated that once charges had been filed, the only appropriate forum to challenge them was the court.
The SAN added, “Some people wrote petition to the police. The police have investigated the case and the Directorate of Public Prosecutions of the Federation issued advice and charges have been framed.
“If anybody has anything against the charges, you challenge them in court.
“The Senate said they have summoned the Attorney General of the Federation, to do what? To discuss the charges that have already been filed in court? Do they have the power to summon the AGF?
“Under the Senate rule, any matter in court cannot even be discussed on the floor of the Senate.”
He said the stance of the Senate on the case, which informed its decision to summon the AGF, was part of the growing wave of influential people in the country attempting to get immunity from criminal prosecution through all sort of means.
Falana also justified the freezing of the bank account of the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, saying the governor only enjoyed immunity from prosecution and not from investigation.
In a statement on Wednesday, Falana stated, “While not challenging the allegation by the EFCC that the sum of N1.3bn has been traced to his personal account, Mr. Fayose has attempted to hide under the immunity clause to shield himself from investigation.
“Contrary to the governor’s claim, he does not enjoy immunity from investigation with respect to his criminal involvement in treasonable conduct and corrupt practices.
“It is trite law that all the public officers protected by Section 308 of the Constitution can be investigated for corruption and other criminal offences.”
