» Armsgate: EFCC Traces N4.8bn To Obanikoro’s Children's Accounts - Daily Post «

Messr Babajide and Gbolahan Obanikoro, two sons of
former Minister of state for Defence, Senator Musiliu
Obanikoro, may soon be arrested by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
This indication follows a disclosure that N4,745,000,000.00
was traced to a company the duo have interest in, Sylvan
McNamara Limited.
According to Vanguard, the money was allegedly paid in
several tranches into the company’s account number:
0026223714 with Diamond bank from the Office of the
National Security Adviser account with the CBN.
It was gathered that all the transfers were effected
between June and December, 2014.
First, N200 million was transferred into Sylvan Mc
Namara’s account on June 5, 2015, while N2billion was
also wired into the account from the CBN/ Imprest Main
account on June 16, 2015.
Another transfer of N700 million entered the account on
July 7, 2014, while N1billion was credited to the account
on July 30, 2014.
Other transfers included: N160 million on August 8, 2014;
N225 million on August 22, 2014; N200 million on
November 14, 2014 and N200 million on December 5, 2014.
The newspaper said its sources disclosed that both
Gbolahan and Babajide Obanikoro, as directors of the
company, were also signatories to its account until 2014
when one Olalekan Ogunseye was made the sole signatory
to the account.
The payments were said to have emanated from the office
of the National Security Adviser as payment for a job not
yet known.
