EFCC Searches Osborne Towers
Meanwhile, the EFCC, THISDAY
gathered, has obtained a warrant from a court to search all the apartments in
Osborne Towers, where the N13.3 billion was discovered.
According to sources in the
commission, the EFCC at the weekend wrote to all the occupants of the building
notifying them that its operatives will carry out a search of all the
apartments.
THISDAY learnt that the reason
for the search arose from the suspicion that there might be more cash hidden in
another apartment at Osborne Towers, other than Flat 7B.
A source revealed that the
whistle blower who blew the lid on Apartment 7B, had also informed the
commission that another apartment has cash stashed in it.
The whistle blower, the source
said, is believed to be a young graduate who works in the building.
It was for this reason that
the commission went to court to obtain a warrant to search all the apartments
in the building.
THISDAY gathered that upon
receiving the letter of the EFCC, several occupants of the building were very
co-operative at the weekend and allowed the operatives to carry out a search of
their flats.
According to the source, about
21 flats in the building had already been searched by Monday, including the
penthouse and three flats belonging to the former National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.
