A former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, has returned to Nigeria to honour his invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Obanikoro has been in the United States since 2015 after the general elections which saw his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), unseated at the centre.
He has been accused of involvement in corrupt practices, as the anti-corruption campaign of the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration intensified with a clampdown on some public officials from the previous administration.
The EFCC said that it had proof that Obanikoro received a total of N4.745 billion from the office of the former National Security Adviser between April 4, 2014, and December 15, 2014 through companies belonging to his sons.
Obanikoro was also named in the alleged rigging of Ekiti State’s governorship election after the emergence of an audio said to have been recorded by a military officer who was at a meeting with some PDP members.
