How Obanikoro ordered soldiers to break airport barriers, loaded N1.3bn into plane...Na wa oooo

hehehehe....Former Minister of Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro,may be in bigger trouble that he thought. This is as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has retrieved the footage details of Obanikoro’s movement at the airport and the flight schedule of the aircraft he used in moving funds for 2014 PDP governorship campaign in Ekiti,


A source told The Nation that Obanikoro allegedly loaded a chartered aircraft with N1,299,490b for transfer to Governor Ayodele Fayose through an associate, Abiodun Agbele.

The cash was transferred through an aircraft, HS125-800 5N-BMT, owned by Gyro Air Limited.
The first flight was reportedly filled with N724.5 million cash, such that there was no seat for Obanikoro and others.
It was during the second flight with N494.990 million that Obanikoro; his Aide-de-Camp, Lieutenant Colonel A.O. Adewale; and crew member joined the trip to Akure, Ondo State Airport.
EFCC disclosed that Obanikoro had defied security gate at the airport in Lagos to move a bullion van to the apron of the chartered wing to off-load the cash.

The source said: “Contrary to his attacks on EFCC, we have retrieved the footage and details of how he ordered soldiers to break the barriers at the reserved security gate at Lagos Airport for a bullion van to go to the apron of the chartered service wing.
“He defied security men at the airport and refused to subject the bullion van to any screening contrary to aviation rules. In fact, apart from financial crimes, the ex-Minister and his accomplices have outstanding allegations against them for violating aviation safety rules or regulations.
“The aircraft made two shuttles to Akure Airport on June 17, 2014. Our investigation revealed that during the first flight, about N724.5 million was offloaded from the bullion into the aircraft. The cash occupied all the space to the extent that there was nowhere to sit by the crew and the ex-Minister.
“But when the balance of N494.990 million was loaded into the aircraft for the second trip, Obanikoro, his ADC, one highly-placed person from the South-West, and the crew were able to make the trip.
“Let him continue to make noise in the United States instead of coming home to clear his name. We have interacted with the aviation staff on ground on the said date. We have identified the owner of the aircraft to be a member of the sacked management of Skye Bank Plc.”
Another source confirmed that the aircraft belonged to a member of the sacked management of Skye Bank Plc.
The source said: “We have evidence of the payment of $25,000 to Gyro Air Limited for the two flights to Akure. And Zenith Bank confirmed how Fayose’s associate, Agbele, brought the cash into its branch in Akure to keep as sundry funds.
“From our findings, the Minister and Fayose fought over N80 million missing from the total cash. They had a shouting match until reasons prevailed between the two politicians on the whereabouts of the N80 million.”
