Captain Koli flee Nigeria once PDP top officials as well as the military realized that he had secretly taped and leaked conversations of the highly criminal conspiracy to rig the election for PDp's Fayose.
Their plot which was carried out was to thwart the reelection bid of then Governor Kayode Fayemi. The tapes, which revealed the PDP officials trying to blackmail General Momoh whilst also offering him financial inducement, created a political scandal known as #Ekitigate.
After the whistleblower eluded the ferocious military and PDP dragnet that sought to capture and punish him, military authorities detained his younger brother and harassed other members of his family.
A top source told Sahara Reporters that Captain Koli had a brief audience with President Muhammadu Buhari upon his return to Nigeria.
The military has commenced inquiry to "investigate, among other things, alleged malpractices and involvement of military personnel in Ekiti and Osun States' Gubernatorial Elections in 2014."
The army recently redeployed Brigadier General Momoh, the lead military player in the Ekiti electoral fraud, to the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) in Minna, Niger State. General Momoh's new post is seen as a demotion, said an army source.
