EFCC rejects Obanikoro’s offer to refund N100m

There are indications that the embattled former minister of state for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro may remain in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as his offer to pay back N100 million to government coffers was reportedly thrown out.

Obanikoro had earlier dared the anti-graft agency who declared him wanted on allegations that he used a company, Sylvan Mac Namara, owned by his sons, to siphon N4.68 billion from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), under retired Col. Sambo Dasuki.

However, it was discovered that from the amount, Obanikoro conveyed N1,219,490,000 to Akure, Ondo State, for the sole purpose of facilitating the election of Mr. Ayodele Fayose as governor of Ekiti State, while he also ferried N1.3 billion to Senator Iyiola Omisore for his governorship bid in Osun State.(DailyPost)
