EFCC Searches Peter Obi’s Apartment
In an interview with This Day, Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has confirmed that his apartment has been searched by the Economic and Finacial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following the discovery of N13.3 billion in a neighboring apartment (Flat 7B) at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, by the commission last week.
The search was due to the information which was given to the commission by a whistleblower which lead to the discovery of N13.3 billion in Flat 7B at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi. According to the whistleblower, there is still a lot more money packed up in other apartments in the luxurious building.
Accordingly, it notified all the occupants of the building that its operatives would search all the flats to ascertain the veracity of the information provided by the whistleblower who works in the complex.
By Monday, the commission had searched 21 of the apartments including those belonging to the former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, who developed the sky-rise residential building.
A statement on Tuesday by Obi’s media aide, Mr. Val Obienyem, said the former governor has confirmed the search by the EFCC of Flat 1 occupied by him in the building.
