The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), today, May 24, declared 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.
According
to EFCC, 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.
