Again, suspended NIA DG, Oke appears before Osinbajo’s panel

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo-led panel on Monday for the second time in a week, had the suspended Director-General (DG) of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ambassador Ayo Oke, appear before it.

Oke had also on Wednesday last week appeared before the committee which was set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate him and the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal.

The NIA DG is answering questions on his claim that the money the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recovered in a residential apartment at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos belongs to the agency.

His second appearance on Monday is suspected to be in response to the submission of the EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, who on Friday, appeared before the committee to give evidence on what his commission discovered about the money, the owners and their plan.

The committee which has the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN) and the National Security Adviser, Maj.-Gen. Babagana Munguno (retd.), as members had last week said the investigation will be done behind-closed doors to allow for full disclosure.

The committee is to turn in its report within two weeks.
