‘under the table’ Deal! Jide Omokore Forfeits London Properties, To Return $1B To FG
President Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade is gathering momentum by the day and the latest big fish caught in the hook is controversial businessman, Jide Omokore who is presently dancing to the tune of the EFCC judging from a clandestine deal he struck with the commission to refund part of the $6B loot which he allegedly took from proceeds of crude oil sales which he shared with some other high-profile individuals who are also answering questions from the EFCC.
Jide Omokore’s cover was said to have blown open when the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido implicated him in a massive looting scheme where he was said to have ‘protected’ the interest of the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
A source revealed to papermache that the flamboyant businessman is to return $1B, a house in Paddington, London, a property in Maitama Street, Abuja, his private jet, luxury cars and some other belongings worth millions of naira.
The searchlight beamed on the businessman when it was revealed that he was one of the closest people to the former Minister for Petroleum who is at the moment on a sickbed in the United Kingdom.
Omokore is said to have negotiated a soft landing when his passport and that of his banker wife, Angela Ebagua were seized by the EFCC, an action that made him realise he had no alternative than to co-operate with the EFCC.
The businessman is further alleged to be engaged in fuel subsidy scams and shady dealings which involved the acquisition of private jets for both Alison-Madueke and ex-President Jonathan.
Omokore has reportedly perfected a bargain to return the loot without attracting the usual media focus and is presently giving useful information to the EFCC on all other dealings he was involved in.

All The Shocking Details As PDP Declares Adedamola Osun Flagbearer, Beats Gov Adeleke in Tense Primary
In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through Osun’s political landscape, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared Hon. Adebayo Adedamola as its governorship flagbearer after a fiercely contested primary that saw him defeat incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The keenly watched primary, held amid heavy security and intense party interest, drew party delegates from across the state. What many expected to be a smooth victory for the governor turned into a tightly fought race, with Fryo gaining momentum during delegate consultations and strategic bloc alignments.
According to party officials, Fryo clinched the majority of valid votes after what they described as a transparent, credible, and highly competitive exercise. His supporters erupted in celebration as the final tally was announced, chanting solidarity songs and hailing what they called “a new direction for Osun PDP.”
Adedamola, popularlcy called Fryo is said to be a close ally of APC stalwart, Iyiola Omisore. Fryo was among the people arrested over the killing of late Attorney General, Chief Bola Ige.
Political analysts say the upset signals a significant shift within the party’s power structure, as the result reflects growing agitation for fresh leadership and a repositioning of the party’s influence across local government blocs.
Governor Adeleke, who had sought the party’s ticket to secure a second term, was said to have congratulated Fryo in a closed-door exchange, though members of his camp are still digesting the unexpected outcome.
Fryo, in his acceptance speech, promised to unify the party, consolidate on its achievements, and present a formidable front ahead of the general elections. He described his victory as “a mandate for renewal” and urged party faithful to rally behind him for what he termed the decisive battle ahead.
With this development, all eyes are now on how the PDP navigates the post-primary atmosphere and prepares for a heated governorship election season in Osun State.
