Security Agents Arrest Former Minister Obanikoro's Wife Amidst Arms Fraud Investigations

Wife of former Minister of Defence Musiliu Obanikoro, Hajiya Morufat Obanikoro was on Thursday arrested by security agents in relation to the ongoing investigation of her husband, who is wanted for questioning over the N4.475bn firearms funs from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

Mrs Obanikoro was picked up by DSS before she was transferred to the EFCC. She was however released after meeting bail conditions though her international passport was impounded. Hajiya Morufat, who allegedly arrived the country at the weekend from the United States, met the bail condition of a surety support of a landed property owner in Lagos and was asked to return on Monday for further interrogation.
