Hot at the heels of reports that a whopping N2.5bn was found in the account of a housemaid by the EFCC, former minister of Aviation and Senator Stella Oduah has come out to discredit any reports of wrongdoing.
It had been reported that Oduah had opened an account in the name of an unknown housemaid without the latter’s knowledge and had stashed money there, money which was found by the EFCC.
Oduah has stated that this is untrue and even challenged any news site to prove that she committed such an offence.
In a statement released this morning and signed by Francisca Onyeisi, head of communications, she described the allegations as “totally false, baseless and at best the imagination of the publishers.” Oduah also added that, “If the reports were true, I would have been arrested long before now, especially at a time when the EFCC is freezing accounts and going after opposition governors who enjoy same level of immunity as the president.”
She urged her supporters and the general public to ignore such reports as they are not true.
