A former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu obbanikoro, has arrived Nigeria in an apparent move to submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over allegation of financial crimes.
The EFCC had accused him of using his children to take out government contracts that were never excuted and was also implicated in the Ekiti elections scandal.
He left for the United State shortly after his party lost the 2015 elections and he ceased being a minister.
He had initially vowed not to return to the country alleging persecution by the government as a means to discredit him.
It is not immediately clear when he planned to submit himself to the EFCC, but Demola Olarewaju an associate of the politician confirmed his arrival.
Olarewaju said Obanikoro had moved to Abuja from Lagos and could visit the EFCC headquarters on Monday.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) froze an account belonging to Shalewa Obanikoro, the daughter of a former Minister of State for Defense, Senator Musiliu obanikoro.
According to EFCC investigators, about N1.2bn whose source is unknown passed through the account belonging to an oil firm.
