THE CABLE
Oba Otudeko, a former chairman of the First Bank of Nigeria (FBN), has suddenly left Nigeria, TheCable can report.
His departure comes in the wake of his imminent arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a 13-count charge of alleged fraud.
TheCable understands that the businessman left the country via one of the land borders.
According to security sources, he was dropped off at the Nigeria-Benin border on Thursday evening by a family member.
When TheCable reached out to Otudeko, his phone number was switched off. Messages sent to his WhatsApp, however, delivered — but there was no response.
Obafemi Otudeko, his son, did not respond to calls and messages when contacted for comments on his father’s whereabouts and destination.
