A bullion van driver has confessed to
conveying the N1.219bn, which the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission alleged was delivered to the Ekiti State Governor, Mr.
Ayodele Fayose, in the build-up to the June 2014 governorship election
in the state, which Fayose won.
Fayose is being investigated by the EFCC
for allegedly receiving the N1.219bn through the Office of the National
Security Adviser for his campaign in 2014, an amount said to be part of
the N4.7bn allegedly diverted from the ONSA under Col. Sambo Dasuki
(retd.).
EFCC investigations had revealed that
the N4.7bn was paid into a bank account of Sylvan McNamara, a company in
which the sons of a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator
Musiliu Obanikoro, are said to be directors.
About N1.219bn was allegedly flown to Akure on a private plane during the build-up to the Ekiti State governorship election.
Fayose was alleged to have received the N1.219bn through his bosom friend, Abiodun Agbele.
The bullion van driver, Mr. Olaoluwa
Omotoso, reportedly drove the bullion van to the Akure airport tarmac on
June 17, 2014, to transport the N1.219bn allegedly flown from Lagos by
Obanikoro.
Omotoso told EFCC detectives that he made two separate trips to the airport because of the large volume of cash. http://punchng.com/drove-poll-cash-fayoses-hotel-driver/
