Army Captain Who Exposed Election Rigging In Ekiti Reabsorbed Into Army

 Sagir Koli, the Nigerian army captain who put hiscareer and life on the line when he exposed the 2014rigging of the gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, hasbeen reabsorbed into the Nigerian army,SaharaReporters has authoritatively learned.

Army sources speaking with SaharaReporters also
said Captain Koli, who is being praised by both peers
and superiors, will receive a letter of commendation
for his outstanding conduct and non-partisanship in
the course of duty.
The captain, it will be recalled, fled the country after
he exposed the rigging of the Ekiti State election,
successfully making an electronic recording of a
meeting where top politicians of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and the Nigerian army
strategized on how to place in office Ayo Fayose, who
eventually “won” the contest.
Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, in collusion with
then Minister of Defense Musiliu Obanikoro, former
Osun State Senator Iyiola Omisore, former Minister
for Police Affairs Jelili Adesiyan, Anambra politician
Chris Uba, gubernatorial candidate Fayose, and
others were caught on Captain Koli’s secret audio
recording plotting to intimidate members of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in order to successfully
rig the gubernatorial race.
In the audio recording, which was subsequently
published by SaharaReporters, Mr. Obanikoro was
heard bribing General Momoh to use the military to
deny APC voters access to polling stations and arrest
leading opposition politicians in Ekiti State. The
politicians were also recorded plotting with General
Momoh about how to use their tactics in Ekiti to rig
another election in Osun State.
News of Captain Koli’s reabsorption into the army
follows the release of the Nigerian Army Board of
Inquiry’s report where several high-ranking military
officers were recommended for disciplinary
proceedings.
It is unclear what other measures may be taken by
the government, including possible prosecution of
non-army personnel who were involved in the
rigging. It should also be recalled that the army, in
the course of searching for Captain Koli, tortured his
teenage younger brother, a secondary school
student.
