"They will never attempt any extradition. I, Musiliu Olatunde Obanikoro, am inviting EFCC to petition America to extradite me to Nigeria," were the words of ex-Minister of State for Defence in a recent interview.
Obanikoro has dared the Ibrahim Magu
led Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to petition the American
government to extradite him home if there are any facts to back up the
agency'sclaims.
Speaking in an interview with
Premium Times, Obanikoro described the EFCC's claims as a charade that
is being hatched by the ruling party, All Progressive Congress.
"The
whole world would now see their charade for what it is. It is even good
for everyone to know the truth, including those who are sympathisers to
the All Progressives Congress.
"Because,
in Nigeria, you’re either on this side or the other side. But this
American system is unbiased. They’re neither for me nor for them. So,
let them bring the tissue of lies that they have put together and submit
everything to serious judicial scrutiny and let us see whether it will
fly. I am inviting them to do that," he said.
He further said, "I am telling you and I am appealing to all Nigerians to also join me in asking them to seek my extradition."
The
former Senator and LG Boss' Ikoyi, Lagos home was on Tuesday, June 14,
2016 raided by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission following allegations that the ex-minister and his sons were
involved in a N4.75bn fraud.
