Ekitigate: Former Senator Iyiola Omisore Arrested by EFCC Over N1.3billion Ekiti Election Loot

EFCC has reportedly nabbed Omisore after declaring him wanted for a long period of time in connection with financial crimes. 

 

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have arrested a former gubernatorial candidate of the People's Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore.

 

Omisore was picked up earlier this morning in Abuja and has since been in the custody of the anti-graft agencies facing interrogation for his role in the election funding fraud.

 EFCC sources told SaharaReporters that the Senator received over N1.3billion from funds pilfered from the office of the National Security Adviser to fund and rig Governor Ayodele Fayose into office in 2014.
