The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared wanted a former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
This was revealed on Tuesday by the EFCC on its official Facebook page.
The commission accused Omisore of receiving N700 million from a former National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki.
The EFCC further accused Omisore of evading arrest.
It said this leaves it with no choice but to declare him wanted.
The EFCC position on its Facebook page reads: “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’.
“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. 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.”
