Mr. Abiodun Agbele, a friend of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, who was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may not be off the hook of the anti-graft agency soon as the EFCC is said to be pressurising him to implicate Governor Fayose as a condition for his release from detention.

Mr. Agbele, who was invited to come to the EFCC office in Abuja on June 28, 2016 was arrested by operatives of the anti-corruption agency in Lagos on June 27, 2016 and is still being detained by the EFCC. He is being detained as part of the EFCC’s investigation of a sum of N4.7 billion allegedly received from the office of the national security adviser, ONSA, through the former minister of state for defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro.

Informed source in the EFCC disclosed that Mr. Agbele was said to have insisted that he did not receive any money from Senator Obanikoro or anyone from the NSA office under embattled Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd). According to an inside source, he only wrote a two paged statement.

“EFCC appears to be at crossroad now because Agbele was said to have maintained that he won’t lie against himself by saying what did not happen. Agbele was said to be insisting that funds only got into his account through Zenith Bank donations, and not from the NSA office,” the source said.
Governor Fayose had stated that his election was funded by the Zenith Bank Plc, mainly, fundraising, donations from friends and associates as well as sales of campaign souvenirs. He said further that he had no financial transaction whatsoever with the ONSA under Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) or Senator Musiliu Obanikoro in “any way, shape or form”.

The governor also challenged EFCC to publish statements made by Senator Obanikoro, his son or any other person associated with money from the NSA office where they claimed they gave him money for the election, adding that what the anti-corruption agency was doing was part of the grand plot to intimidate and harass him into submission.

“Agbele was said to have told the EFCC that money was transferred to his account by the Zenith Bank and it was Governor Fayose that introduced him to Zenith Bank as part of the bank’s arrangement to fund his election. He has also said that he was not a politician and that he never had any financial dealing with Obanikoro or the former NSA. Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

“However, EFCC is only interested in getting a link between funds allegedly received from the NSA office and Governor Fayose, and Agbele is believed to be the only one that can provide that link. Thus, Agbele may have been given the option of either making statements to implicate Governor Fayose by creating the needed link or remain incarcerated for as along as they desired,” the source said....

EFCC again? The way this government take dey use this ppl sef. Anyway, Happy nEW wEEK to you guys, wish everyone a very lovely and fruitful week ahead.

Opposition must be gagged by fire by force.

I am very sure, before 2019, there will be no single opposition left to contend with Buhari. It is going to be Buhari vs Buhari

Is this d lazy way of investigation now? Forcing people to 'confess'? How about d EFCC gets busy and justifies its pay by legally acquiring iron-clad evidence which it can substantiate and even nail some liars under oath in the process? Why must d arrested suspects do their dirty jobs for them? On what basis were they then arrested?

The dullard Buhari knows that the bank tellers are useless without Agbele hence the desperation!!! Shame on Buhari!! Shame on Magu shame on the EFCC!! Oshokomole no shakingz the gods are with you!!

Watching them in 5D.

APC and Buhari's incessant attempt to dent our democracy and establish a one party system has become a macabre dance of shame.

Always trying to silence the opposition but play God who forgives to his party affiliates.

I pity those who remain fooled by buhari's theatrics...

I wonder how history will remember him.

Is it Buhari ruling dis country or his entire party APC....?

Goodbye democracy.
I regret voting for this man. Maybe because I was not born when he first ruled Nigeria.
I was told of his totalitarianism, but I thought it was another PDP ploy to rule for 60years.
Couldn't it have been better if PDP had been left to rule for 60years?
Goooood!!!

The man above me .... sorry oo.
Madam Buhari don forget to go colorado oo.


Happy birthday to me

Am sorry 4 my dear country Nigeria is in it 4 it all I can say is we gud people of Nigeria should jst go back to God in prayer evil vultures are in power poverty hunger death is d harvest

They will soon be coming after us, the 'Internet Boko Haram' according to Buruntai

They have promised to take their battle to the social media.. I think these guys are not bluffing

Yea !, In a Policed state that is how it's done. You criticise the power that be, you get screw-up by Efcc or Dss and get incalcirated, and put in prison.

And the gullible ones believed this news..

Before you make sily comment check the source of the news first, then ask yourself if this man is out of EFCC prison to be making such statement. FAYOSE and co working with media to kill this investigation.

but if a source in efcc had said 10 billion naira was stolen by mr x, knowing fully well that mr x is still under investigation and no court has declared him guilty, you would have believed the source,mind you am not a fan of any of them.

in a looting state you mean. They shouldn't throw stones from their glass houses

Useless story concocted my Fayose's media dogs.

I can see some puppies here hailing the news. Smh.

Something must seriously be wrong with the brain of some people in this country. Someone collected millions of naira to enjoy himself and secure his family for a lifetime at the detriment of the country, and silly poverty ridden puppies are still encouraging him. Chai

This Agbele guy never know anything. Make e go ask Dansuki, Metuh and others.

Metuh engaged in greater propanganda before him. He made greater noise, thinking that will save his ass.

At the hour of visitation he realised no propanganda can help him. As prideful as he was earlier, he broke down and started begging to return money he earlier claimed he haas spent for a task he was commanded to do and nothing can happen.

This Agbele guy does not have immunity, nor political covering. EFCC will so deal with uuuuuuuuu ..... Dansuki's own will be a child's play.

Continue with your propanganda. We'll all be here when u'll start begging to return what you collected.

There's a difference between lazy and easy. In addition, such actions or methods are manifestly illegal, perverse and contravene every sense of decency and human rights.

As a student which u clearly are, u need to be honest and do the work so u can defend ur product. Laziness as well as illegality will trip u up in d long run.

What other implication does EFFC needs when mr Fayose himself has done the damage with his statement that Zenith bank sponsored his election.

MIKOLOWISKA:
the gods versus God, wonder who will win?

While at ur studies, get some training on literary appreciation. Not everything is subject to a literal interpretation.

obviously you only read for exam as you did not get the reference to God being the majority

Jailing a thief and using his self preservation instinct to catch a bigger thief is not illegal
It's called plea bargaining
Stop watching nollywood
You don't learn much from it

The fact that you think you have finished learning tells me all I need to know about your thought pattern

Not surprised, Magu has been making every effort to please his boss in Aso rock

Fayose at it again
Which business fetched you 1.24billion naira?
You can only fool Igbos and fellow thugs

IT IS VERY PARAMOUNT THAT THIS GOVT SHOULD RESPECT RULE OF LAW IMPUNITY IS ON THE RISE ON DAILY BASES THIS KIND OF ATTITUDE WILL NEVER ALLOW OUR DEMOCRACY TO GROW .APC SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEY ALLOW CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM FROM OPPOSITION PARTY IN ORDER TO CALL THEM TO ORDER IN TIME OF NEED. INCARCERATION, INTIMIDATION AND MEDIA TRIAL SHOULD BE AVOIDED. EFCC SHOULD WORK ACCORDING TO THE ETHICS OF THEIR JOB AND AVOID DENTING THEIR NAME.
