Tropics NigeriaReporters had exclusively published series of reports highlighting how Obasa embezzled millions of public funds in flagrant abuse of office.

Some of the reports revealed how he operates over 64 bank accounts using different names to conceal his identity.

Aside from using Ajayi Mudashiru Obasa, he also used Obasa Abdulrahman Gbadunola and Gabriel Adedoyin Savage to register some of the bank accounts.

After months of reporting and investigation by Tropics NigeriaReporters, Obasa was invited by the EFCC for questioning.

Some of his allies, who are involved in the grand corruption, have also been grilled by the anti-graft agency and they confessed to the act, promising to refund some of the stolen funds.

Obasa, who is a stooge of ex-Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu, arrived at EFCC’s office at about 10:00am on Thursday for questioning by officials of the anti-graft agency.
