When President Buhari said "i pity the family of looters", I guess this is it. Everyone will feel the heat.
Operatives of the EFCC on Friday grilled Shalewa Obanikoro, the cute daughter of Musiliu Obanikoro, over a transaction of N800m that was traced to her account.
Investigators revealed that Shalewa was grilled at the Lagos office of the EFCC for several hours along with her mother, Moroophat. It was discovered that almost One Billion entered her account.
An impeccable source at the anti-graft agency said as part of investigations into the N4.7bn allegedly paid into the company account of Obanikoro’s sons – Babajide and Gbolahan – by the Office of the National Security Adviser, the commission started investigating some other members of the family.
The detective told The Nation: “Obanikoro’s wife came to our office on Friday morning as part of investigations into the N4.7bn paid into Sylvan McNamara, a company owned by her sons. During investigation, we stumbled on the account of an oil company. We then discovered that Obanikoro’s daughter was a signatory to the account of the oil company and that millions of naira was paid into the account at different times.
“We then invited the daughter and she came to meet us at the office. During investigations, we found out that the daughter gave a standing order to the bank that N800m should be moved into another account. We wondered why such a young girl would have access to such funds so we started quizzing her.
“This is a whole new dimension to the case and we will continue to investigate to find out if it is related to the arms probe or not.”
EFCC seized Shalewa's US passport to prevent her from escaping like her father and brothers.
The investigator said, “We were told that she was planning on travelling to the US soon so we swiftly seized her passport because she is vital to our investigation. However, we told her to be coming from home.”
