Alleged N4.7bn fraud: Obanikoro agrees to testify against Gov. Fayose

Punchng quotes a reliable EFCC source as

saying, “Senator Obanikoro came to the EFCC office on Monday morning as part of investigations into the N4.7bn. Since he has confessed that he was the one who collected the N4.7bn and distributed it, he is in the best position to testify in court.
The EFCC wants him to testify against Agbele which will also build a strong case against Fayose who currently enjoys immunity. Obanikoro has agreed and will be listed as one of the EFCC witnesses.

If Agbele is convicted, it automatically means that Fayose will also be convicted once he is charged in 2018. So let Fayose continue to play games. Omisore and Obanikoro are cooperating and returning money. Their troubles will end soon while Fayose’s own will keep getting worse.
Obanikoro has returned N104m and has pledged to return N480m in instalments every four months, but if he cannot cooperate with the EFCC, then he and his sons may be charged along with the others.
Plea bargain and negotiation are a standard practice in criminal justice across the world.” In his statement, Obanikoro had told the EFCC that he handed N1.3bn to the then governorship candidate of PDP in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
He also said N1.219bn was given to Fayose through his aide, Agbele, during the build-up to the Ekiti governorship election. The ex-minister is believed to have kept about N785m for himself, an action which is said to have angered Fayose.
