Omisore, Obanikoro's sons' accounts frozen over N4.7bn fraud
Five bank accounts belonging to a former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, and the sons of a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, have been frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The accounts were frozen by the commission in continuation of investigations into the alleged N4.7bn election allegedly coordinated by Obanikoro and sourced from the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, under Sambo Dasuki
 
The accounts frozen by the anti-graft agency include Sylvan McNamara (number 0026223714 with Diamond Bank); Sawanara Limited with First Bank; Fimex Gilt Limited with the United Bank for Africa; and Metropolitan Consortium with First Bank.
The EFCC had claimed that Omisore received N1.3bn from the money.
It would be recalled that the anti-graft agency had earlier frozen accounts linked to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and his associate, Abiodun Agbele, over the same election fund.
