Ikoli, who the ICPC said had been on the run for the past three months, turned himself in yesterday after all his bank accounts had been frozen by the commission.
He was said to have shown up at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja when he learnt that he was to be declared wanted.
Trouble started when an Ibadan-based legal firm got a brief to represent the state and some officials in seven cases.
