Who owns the huge cache of monetary loot recently discovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [E.F.C.C]at the impressive and posh looking Lagos high street brand apartment :Osborne Towers in Ikoyi,Lagos recently .

Checks by The News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos , Nigeria ,suggests that in between the E.F.C.C. and the National Intelligence Agency [N.I.A].somebody is not telling the truth.

The controversial Lagos apartment in which the cash was found has already being linked to Alhaji Adamu Muazu , the Former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party [P.D.P] and the Right Honorable Rotimi Amaechi now Minister for Transportation with both men not taking direct responsibility for the loot as Muazu is said to have sold his rights on the place long before now or so we were made to understand.

A source who spoke to this reporter lamented the level of lies being invented by the government anti-graft agency to cover up a public official linked to the matter.

The source revealed that under the 2004 public procurement act ,it was highly impossible that the money would belong to the National Intelligence Agency [N.I.A]as it was very illegal.

His words:”every state agency does not deal with cash directly and this is a public fact in Nigeria ,that money obviously belongs to Amaechi but they are trying to cover it up for him because he is a government official ‘

“the building itself is known to be a private residence ,so where did N.I.A get involved   and do they not have an account”

“it was due to the P.P.A that made Former President Obasanjo to set up the due process office in The Presidency with Madam Oby Ezekwesili as its Director General as at then “

He supported the calls by Governors Nyesom Wike of Rivers state and Chief Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state asking Nigerians to continue to put the issue of the cash on the front burner of national discourse as the right thing to do with Wike insisting the discovered loot was part of the proceeds from the sale of three turbines by the Amaechi regime in River state.

In a related issue,yet another source who spoke to this on the vexing issue accused the management of the N.I.A as being very wicked and utterly useless ,wondering what they were doing keeping cash in a private apartment when the nation was in a recession with several tiers of governance unable to pay salaries and pension even as at press time.

Latest as at press time infers that Former Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state has since threatened to slap a suit against Chief Femi Fani-Kayode   and aides attached to Ekiti State Governor ,Ayodele Fayose  worth around N2Billion with the war of words continuing over the mystery cash .

E.F.C.C. further raised the bar in  the mystery as they have kept quiet themselves when N.I.A. admitted to the ownership of the cash but with a caveat:Ibrahim Magu was aware of the cash at Osborne Towers  thus raising a fresh twist ,with many wondering that perhaps this was a ploy by Aso Rock to clean up Magu’s image as  a hardworking civil servant deserving of confirmation by the National Assembly but was only a hapless victim of power play or persecution.

Yet another  source  hinted that the money actually belonged to the government after all as such a huge cash after all with labels and dates on them  showing when they were issued could not have gotten to Osborne Towers without the knowledge of the Central Bank of Nigeria [C.B.N]

However, a legal source believed to be a Senior Advocate of Nigeria exonerated the N.I.A. in the growing national fight over a mystery cash

According to the learned legal luminary ,there was nothing strange about the agency holding such an amount of money at a location as he pointed out that being a secret organization in the mold of the F.B.I and the C.I.A,they were always involved in a lot of covert operations with some legal and otherwise but in the interest of the state   and with all of this requiring  cash to prosecute their agenda even at a short notice.

In yet another worrying puzzle in the unfolding drama around the mystery cash,a source insisted that the cash was owned by the heavyweights of the ruling All Peoples Congress[ A.P.C]and this was why they tried to stop E.F.C.C initially from ransacking the apartment at Osborne Towers.
