President Muhammadu Buhari’s former Special Assistant on Niger Delta and Coordinator of Amnesty Programme, Brig. Gen.

Paul Boroh’s wife, Mrs. Ibinye Boroh said… “My attention has been drawn to the publication in some of the Nigerian media particularly the front page of Thisday Newspaper to the effect that $9million was recovered by the operatives of the EFCC from our house and premises in the course of their search.”

“This is to inform the general public that no cash was discovered and could not have been discovered by government operatives during their search in our house last Monday. The publication by a section of the press stating the contrary is fabricated, false in its entirety, malicious and calculated to mislead the public.”

Be that as it may, sources disclosed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) allegedly discovered $9 million cash at Paul Boroh’s residence.

We gathered the $9 million dollars was discovered at his residence few hours after he was arrested by a combined team of the EFCC and ONSA operatives.

However, Mr. Wilson Uwujiaren, Head, Media and Publicity of the EFCC confirmed the raid. Furthermore, an EFCC source also disclosed that Gen. Boroh was picked up from his home in Gwarinpa, Abuja on Monday March 19th, 2018 but was taken back to his residence at about 3.am on Tuesday 20th, March by the security operatives who raided his house for hours and made the cash discovery of $9 million at his home.

The source added that: “The former adviser was driven to his home in an unmarked car after his arrest. His home was searched for several hours and about $9 million cash was discovered in several safe boxes in several parts of the house.”

“The combined team of EFCC and the National Security Adviser operatives were very thorough with the search. Indeed, at a point, the operatives broke all the locks in the home including his wife’s closet. The recovered cash has been deposited at the Office of the NSA.”
