According to The Nation, former minister Musiliu Obanikoro received a hung chunk of the diverted fund for arms in order to influence the gubernatorial elections were held in Ekiti (June 2014) and in Osun (August 2014).
The report also claimed that the former Lagos State governorship aspirant has sneaked out of the country following an imminent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.
A source disclosed to the Nation that the PDP strongman hid his whereabouts even from his family and is keeping a low profile in order not to be discovered and extradited. “The huge funds were paid into the accounts of the ex-Minister for elections in the two states.
“There are allegations that the funds were not disbursed as expected because the candidates had their own campaign funds.
“Although some military and security personnel were to benefit from the slush funds, they were also shortchanged.” "Some bankers who managed the accounts have already given some information to EFCC investigators.
“But we have discovered that the ex-Minister has sneaked out of the country. As soon as we establish his whereabouts, we know what to do,” the source said. Many politicians and media houses have been indicted so far in the $2.1b arms deal scandal. However the EFCC have charged former National security adviser, Sambo Dansuki;
Chairman Emeritus of Daar Communications, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi; former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa; and former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda.

At the end of the day only Sambo Dasuki may be the person capable of being charged for these arms funds.. unless the persons that are being detained knew the money provided them by Sambo Dasuki was meant for arms purchase; the persons can only be charged with other offences.

no good roads no good water supply no stable electricity no good transportation system (water, road, rail, and air) not to mention houses yet few politicians have millions and billions in their account its so sad. if truly he ran he can't hide for long. the extradition law/ treaty with most Western countries is in place.
