Musiliu Obanikoro
We reported it earlier today that former Minister of State for
Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, who has been out of the country for
over a year has returned to the country this morning to answer to some
of the allegations against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).
SaharaReporters had earlier revealed on its official Twitter
account that Obanikoro reportedly touched ground early this morning in
Abuja, the nation’s capital enroute London Heathrow.
The publication who had earlier tweeted that hours after arriving
Abuja, Obanikoro did not surrender to the EFCC as promised, has now
confirmed that the embattled PDP chieftain, has finally surrendered to
the anti-graft agency.
Efforts to reach Obanikoro were not fruitful as family members said he would not speak until he is done with the EFCC.
ThisDay gathered that he would be led to the commission by his two
lawyers, Lawal Pedro and James Onoja, both Senior Advocates of Nigeria
(SAN).
This is a developing story, we’ll surely keep you updated as soon as its made available.
