The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) yesterday secured a warrant from a court to detain a former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Otunba Iyiola Omisore in connection with the ongoing investigation of N1.310billion illegally allocated to him and three companies by the Office of the National Security Adviser(ONSA).
His other accomplices include Governor Ayodele Fayose and ex-Minister of Defence, Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro, who has gone on self-exile in the United States.
According to a source in EFCC, the depth of the ongoing probe demanded that Omisore should be in custody for a while.
The source said: “We have secured warrant from a court to detain Omisore for a while as we intensify investigation into how N1.310billion was given to him and three firms by ONSA.
“The former Deputy Governor has been responding to issues raised by our operatives on how he came about the slush funds.
“The EFCC approached the court for the detention order in line with its commitment to the Rule of Law.
“So, Omisore will spend more days legally with us in custody to enable us conclude our investigation in record time.”
