The operatives attached to the two top security officials, however, resisted the move, resulting in a heated argument.The EFCC had invited Oke for questioning in connection with $43 million found in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos.Oke’s wife, who has also been summoned, was identified as the owner of the apartment.
