Obanikoro Returns Stolen N134m to EFCC

By -
A popular Nigerian politician who duped the country of millions of naira has finally returned the sum of N134 million to the EFCC.
Former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro
 
There are indications that a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, on Monday returned N30m to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Punch reports.
 
He had earlier in the year returned N104 million to the agency as part of his release plan. The latest refund brings the total amount of money he has returned to the EFCC to N134m.

“Obanikoro came on Monday and presented a draft of about N30m. Initially we did not want to collect it because it is small compared to what he is supposed to have given us. However, the legal department advised us to collect it,” Punch quoted an insider as saying.
 
Obanikoro had said in his statement of oath at the EFCC that after receiving the money in 2014, he gave N1.219bn to the then governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, while N1.3bn was given to the PDP candidate in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
 
The ex-minister, who returned to Nigeria last month after spending about 15 months in the United States, was accused of receiving N4.7bn from the Office of the National Security Adviser under the leadership of Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.).
 
He also confessed to giving Fayose a separate $5.377m at Spotless Hotel in Ekiti State in the presence of party leaders, including the then PDP Secretary, Mr. Tope Aluko.

Do you have ultra-sensitive eyes? Then it is time to prove it. See if you can tell the authenticity of this Adekunke Gold/Nicki Minaj picture. Alternative singer, Adekunle Gold, is seen in this photo posing with Rap Queen, Nicki Minaj. But there is one problem? Is the famous 'Sade' crooner really posing with the American rap mogul. Look closly and see if you can tell.   Ok, let's help you out.   The YBNL singer is not really posing with Nicki Minaj. It is only a work of graphic. It is widely known that he is a great graphics designer and this is yet another of is work of ingenuity.

Minister of  Sports, Solomon Dalung yesterday came face to face with the rot, neglect and abandonment that surmised the derelict state of facilities under his commission, scattered all over Lagos. *Dalong The minister who began his facility tour from Sea School, Apapa drove into the famed Games Village in Surulere at exactly 12.02 pm with a retinue of aides that included the Director General of the National Sports Commission, Alhassan Yakmut, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Christian Ohaa, the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, directors, deputy directors, scores of journalists, among others.

Although renovation work is ongoing, the minister was not satisfied with the pac...

U.S President-elect, Donald Trump has, during his first press conference after his election, said to the American popular media organization, The Cable News Network  (CNN), ” “You Are Fake News”  for publishing an unsubstantiated report about Russia having compromising information on him. Trump then unleashed on Buzzfeed, another news media which alone published the 35-page memo behind the Russian allegations, saying “Buzzfeed which is a failing pile of garbage… will suffer the consequences”  And then, in an even more stunning episode,  Trump slammed CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who he also called out during the presser over their report on a two-page synopsis they claim was presented to Trump. With Trump looking to call on other reporters,  Jim Acosta yelled out, “Since you are attacking us, can you give us a question?” “Not you,” Trump said. “Your organization is terrible!” Acosta pressed on, “You are attacking our news organization, can you give us a ...
