EFCC Freezes Accounts Of ex-Osun Deputy Gov., Obanikoro’s Sons

Fresh now is that the EFCC is currently investigating him for misappropriation of N4.7bn he received from Office of the former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki.

According to a report by Vanguard, the anti-graft agency has also frozen the accounts of two sons of a former minister of state of defence, Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro.

“On July 9, 2014, N150m was paid into the account of Sawanara with First Bank. On August 1, 2014, N300m was paid to Sawanara Limited. On August 8, 2014, about N160m was paid into the account of Fimex Gilt Limited domiciled with UBA.

“On the day of the election, August 9, 2014, N350m was paid into the First Bank account of Metropolitan Consortium. All the accounts were linked to Omisore ahead of the August 2014 governorship election in Osun State.”

“The accounts frozen by the EFCC are: Sylvan McNamara (number 0026223714 with Diamond Bank); Sawanara Limited with First Bank; Fimex Gilt Limited with the United Bank for Africa; and Metropolitan Consortium with First Bank.”, a detective at the anti-graft agency told newsmen.

Recall that THE WHISTLER, on 24th May, 2016, reported how the EFCC declared Omisore wanted for receiving and misappropriating over N700, 000,000.00 from the Office of the National Security Adviser, between June and November, 2014.

An allegation which he later denied, saying “It is rather unfortunate that the EFCC can declare me wanted after we met in court 9am that same day”.
