"It delights us to announce that the former Minister of State for Defense, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has been released from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), this evening.
We are however not resentful but thankful to the Almighty for the gift of life and good health and the process which began from his voluntarily turning himself over to the anti graft agency and his subsequent release.
We thank all his friends and followers who supported him in prayers and supplication among others. God bless you all. Jonathan Eze Media Aide to Senator Musiliu Obanikoro
Obanikoro, who was arrested on October 17, was accused of receiving N4.7 Billion through the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2014.
He was said to have pocketed N785m while the balance was given to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and Senator Iyiola Omisore who was the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State in 2014.
Obanikoro was said to have returned N100m and pledged to return N480m while his American and Nigerian passports were submitted to the EFCC.
