Former Osun State Deputy Governor, Senator Iyiola Omisore, was yesterday arrested by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC). The spokesman for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest of Omisore but did not give details. He however said the former Senator was arrested in his Abuja house and taken into custody. Recall last week, the anti-graft agency froze the five bank accounts traced to Omisore, Obanikoro and his two sons, having declared Omisore wanted in March 2016. The accounts frozen by the anti-graft agency included Sylvan McNamara (number 0026223714 with Diamond Bank); Sawanara Limited with First Bank; Fimex Gilt Limited with the United Bank for Africa; and Metropolitan Consortium with First Bank. There are indications that Omisore might be arraigned in court over the receipt of N1.3 billion by three firms allegedly owned by him.
