Arms funds: EFCC declares Omisore wanted over N700m

The last may not have been heard of the $2.1 billion arms scandal rocking the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared a former gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, wanted.

The ex-Deputy Governor of Osun State is wanted in connection with the sum of N700 million, which he allegedly received from the ONSA. But, Omisore faulted the EFCC for declaring him wanted, stating that the anti-graft agency is out to tarnish his image. A former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), is being prosecuted by the antigraft agency, for allegedly misapplying the $2.1 billion said to have been originally earmarked for the procurement of arms, to prosecute the counter-terrorism war in the North-East.
The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said Omisore is wanted “in connection with a case of receiving and misappropriating the sum of over N700 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser, between June and November, 2014.”
