The investigative panel led by Nigeria's Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to investigate the slush fund found in an apartment in Ikoyi has reinvited the DG of National Intelligence Agency, Ayo Oke, for more questioning.

A source close to the matter according to The Nation said:

“Oke has been re-invited because the committee has not been convinced about where he got the $43.4m and how the cash got to Apartment 7B in Osborne Towers, Ikoyi.

“These are the two questions he needs to clarify before we round off our work. We want to give him the benefit of doubt.

“Oke admitted that NIA got $289 million Special Intervention Funds for nine projects and he has accounted for how the funds were spent on the completed and ongoing projects.

“The only area of disagreement is that the panel suspects that the $43.4 million is not part of the $289 million. It believes the cash was part of the campaign slush funds for the re-election of ex-President Jonathan.”
