Otudeko did not flee, left for medical reasons – Family

THE CABLE

Family sources say Oba Otudeko, the former chairman of the First Bank of Nigeria (FBN), did not run away from Nigeria.

TheCable was informed that Otudeko left the country on a medical trip.

Although the family sources said he did not leave Nigeria through land borders, they were silent on the airport through which the octogenarian exited the country.

TheCable had earlier reported how the businessman left the country on Thursday evening after a family member dropped him off at the Nigeria-Benin border.

Otudeko faces imminent arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a 13-count charge of alleged fraud.
