Ikoyi house where N11.6b was found not mine – Mu’azu

Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has refuted claims that the apartment in Lagos where a whooping sum of N11.66 billion was found belongs to him.

Officials of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) had upon a tip off from whistle-blower 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  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.
