LATEST: Omisore Now On EFCC Most Wanted List
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared wanted a former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
The EFCC said this on its official Facebook page on Tuesday.
The commission said Omisore allegedly received N700m from a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.)
The anti-graft agency said Omisore had been evading arrest for several
months and it thus had no choice but to declare him wanted.
The statement read, “The EFCC, today, May 24,2016, declared a former
deputy governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore wanted.
“The former senator is wanted in connection with a case of receiving and
misappropriating the sum of over N700, 000,000.00 from the Office of
the National Security Adviser, between June and November, 2014.
“Omisore has been elusive and refused to report to the Commission after
invitation was extended to him on April 7, 2016 requesting him “to come and make clarification on the ongoing investigation.”
The EFCC explained
that instead of responding to the Commission’s investigation, Omosore
had approached the Federal Capital Territory High Court for the
enforcement of his fundamental human rights.
It added, “Justice Husseini Baba Yusuf consequently ordered that Omisore
should only be arrested through a due and legal process. The EFCC
thereafter obtained a warrant to effect the arrest of the politician.”
