It is not for me! Amaechi says

As regards who owns the huge sum of money discovered  in an apartment in Ikoyi area of Lagos State, the Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, has denied the ownership of the funds found.

Mr Amaechi has denied facts pointing at him on the ownership of the said funds recovered by EFCC and urged Nigerians to disregard such claims, saying further that he does not know who owns the money or the apartment where it was found.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Governor Nyesom Wike said the recovered money belongs to the Rivers State government, and asked Federal Government to return the funds.

The EFCC recovered 43 million Dollars, 23 million Naira, and 27,000 Pounds on Wednesday. The discovery came days after the anti-graft announced the recovery of 547,730 Euros; 21,090 Dollars and 5,648,500 Naira from a Bureau de Change operator in Balogun Market, Lagos.

Consequently, a Federal High Court in Lagos ordered that the funds be temporarily given to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
