Former Minister of State for
Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, will be made to account for the N4.7 billion traced to firms linked to him,
if he is found to be culpable, a top source in the commission, said last night.
The source, who spoke in confidence, pointed out that the case of the former
minister, who is in the commission’s custody, would be treated strictly on its
merit, contrary to insinuations that the agency ferried him into the country to
be used as a prosecution witness against other suspects in the $2.1 billion
arms cash. “Let me make it clear that we did not bring the man from the United
States of America to be used as a witness against any of the suspects we are
investigating in respect of the $2.1
billion arms cash scandal. “No two cases we are investigating are the same and
it must be made clear that Obanikoro’s case has nothing to do with any other
person being investigated by the commission. The truth of the matter is that we
are just beginning the investigation of Obanikoro and evidence adduced from the
probe will determine our next move against him.
