How I Transported Over N1.219bn To Fayose On An Aircraft – Pilot Makes Shocking Revelation To EFCC


Captain Ahmed Borodo has revealed to the EFCC how he flew Musiliu Obanikoro, the former Minister of State for Defence, and eight green military bags of cash allegedly containing N1.219bn from Lagos to Akure airport, where the cash were handed over to Abiodun Agbele, who is an aide of the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose.

The captain made the revelation while being questioned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, last week.

The report by punch quoted an investigator as saying, “The pilot told us that on June 17, 2014, he was instructed by his company around 7am to prepare the aircraft for an 8.30am flight from Lagos to Akure. He was informed that the client was Obanikoro. He said he along with his colleagues including one Capt. Olubiyi Famuyiwa got on the plane.

“He said Obanikoro’s aides arrived at the tarmac with some bullion vans and started offloading the contents which were in big green tarpaulin bags. He informed them that the aircraft could only carry about eight or nine bags due to its small size.

“The pilot said at that point, Obanikoro intervened and began pleading with him to allow them load all the bags on the plane but he refused and then the minister, his ADC and a friend boarded the plane and the aircraft departed.

“The pilot said on getting to the Akure airport, some soldiers received them and the bags were offloaded and put into a bullion van. He noted that the plane returned empty to Lagos.

“He said that the next day, he returned to Akure and then flew Obanikoro to Abuja with his Aide-de-Camp, Lt. Adewale.”
