A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, has refuted claims that the apartment in Lagos where a whooping sum of N11.66 billion was found belongs to him.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that officials of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) upon a tip from whistleblower ransacked the property in Ikoyi to discover the cash ($38m, N23m and £27,000) which was dominated in Dollars, Naira and Pounds.
The former ruling party chairman said the only property in he owns in Lagos was on Walter Carington Crescent, Victoria Island and not in Ikoyi or any other part of Lagos.
Mu’azu made the claim while speaking to Sahara Reporters.
Akin Oyegoke who identified himself as the “Media and ICT Personal Assistant” to Mu’azu, called from London to debunk the speculation.
“Mr Muazu does not own any house in Ikoyi except his house at Walter Carrington street, Victoria Island Lagos,” Oyegoke said.
Oyegoke, however, failed to explain why the construction firm, Etco Nigeria Limited, that built the house listed his name as a client.
For the third day in a row, the EFCC uncovered another huge sum of cash.
Recall that EFCC intercepted huge sums of money in various currencies at the popular Balogun market in Lagos on Monday.
On Tuesday, another a whistle-blower led operatives to another discovery of a staggering sum of N4billion suspected to be proceeds of crime.
