$43m Osborne Fund: Money belongs to Rivers Govt – SENATOR George Sekibo

SENATOR George Sekibo (PDP, Rivers East) yesterday, told the senators during plenary that the $43 million recovered at a luxury apartment building in Osborne, Ikoyi, Lagos, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, belongs to the Rivers State Government. Sekibo alleged that the said apartment belongs to the former governor of Rivers State, adding that if the apartment belonged to the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, the EFCC would not have gone there because they are interrelated. Senator Sekibo raised doubt over the credibility of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo -led panel set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the circumstances surrounding the huge amount of monies found in the apartment, just as he called for the inclusion of Rivers State Government in the investigation of the said monies.
