EFCC Reviews Petition Alleging Ghost-Worker Payments Linked to Adeleke Aide
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it is reviewing a petition alleging that Bamikole Omishore, an aide to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and his wife were involved in a ghost-worker payroll scheme. The petition alleges that Omishore’s wife was listed as a Grade Level 12 employee of the National Assembly while living and working as a nurse in the United States. It further claims that salaries were paid into her bank account for nearly three years. The allegations were linked to a wider investigation into claims that lawmakers and aides diverted public funds through payments to non-existent workers. The EFCC spokesperson said the petition was before the commission and was receiving attention. The allegations have not been proven in court.
