Obanikoro’s sons
Meanwhile there are indications the EFCC will invite two sons of ex-Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, for interrogation in connection with the ongoing probe into the $2.1bn arms fund.
It was gathered that the commission would send invitation to Gbolahan and Babajide Obanikoro and that they would be required to appear before the EFCC before the end of the week, unfailingly.
The commission has traced N4.75bn from the Central Bank of Nigeria Imprest Account of the NSA to Silva Mcnamara, a company linked to the Obanikoros, between June 6, 2014 and December, 12, 2015.
A source said, “Investigation into the N4.75bn is ongoing. It is only logical that these guys are questioned because of their involvement in the issue.
“They will be invited to appear before the commission to shed light on the company earned the money without contract award. Barring last minute changes, they may be summoned this week.”
