The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC said the minister bought the house through a bank Manager and already made cash payment of $20 million which was allegedly evacuated from her house.
EFCC Chairman,Mr Abdulrasheed Bawa who made the disclosure in on Channels Tuesday, said the property was allegedly sold to the minister by a Managing Director of a bank ( name withheld).
Bawa said the said Bank MD facilitated the evacuation of the hard currency from the minister’ s house with the help of a vehicle made available by the bank.
” The bank succeeded in putting it into their system, and they paid the developer, “Bawa said.
