Apartment 7B, the Osborne Towers expensive home where $43.4m was found, may be sold, it was learnt yesterday. A Presidential Investigative Committee is probing the suspended Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Amb. Ayo Oke, over the cash and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, for a N200million contract awarded to a company, Global Vision Limited, linked with him.
There were indications yesterday that:•the committee may have concluded the SGF’s case, which a source described as “straightforward”;
•the Presidency is of the opinion that the National Security Adviser (NSA), Gen. Babagana Monguno, has no case to answer on the $43.4m; and that
•the committee may not ask Monguno, who is one of its members, to step aside.
It was learnt that a directive had been given to the agency to put the apartment in the property market.
The apartment may fetch the agency about N200 million, a source said.
The outcome of the Osinbajo Committee’s report will determine whether or not the EFCC has any further role to play on the seized $43.4 million and the N200 million alleged contract scandal.
