Investigations have revealed that a former Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Ayodele Oke and his wife, Folashade may have left the country.
According to reports, Oke, who was to be arraigned along with his wife by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today (Friday), left the country last week “for medical reasons”.
Sources in the intelligence community told an online newspaper TheCable that subjecting Oke to open trial might compromise the nation’s security operations.

“Most of the projects financed by NIA from the funds are aimed at gathering intelligence and these things are usually done through cash transactions. Government might have succumbed to public sentiments to treat it as a crime, but there will be dire consequences for the nation’s security operations,” an NIA operative told TheCable.
