The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, on Monday reacted to report of its operatives raiding the
residence of the sons of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar in Abuja.
Spokesperson of the former Vice
President, Paul Ibe, while confirming the incident had said that during the
search of the residence of Aliyu and Mustapha Atiku-Abubakar, EFCC operatives
ended up arresting two other residents of the estate in Maitama, Abuja.
Ibe disclosed that the anti-graft
agency confiscated two of their cars but later released them
But reacting, the anti-graft
agency said they arrested one Ogbonna Orji, son of former Abia State governor,
Theodore Orji are not Abubakar’s children.
In a series of tweets, the
anti-graft agency said the arrest of Ogbonna Orjidhas nothing to do with
Abubakar’s sons.
The tweets read: “The recent
arrest of Ogbonna Orji, son of Sen. Theodore Orji, over money laundering, has
absolutely nothing to do with son of ex-VP Atiku Abubakar.
“The EFCC had been on the trail
of cars allegedly bought by the sons, and last Friday the cars were traced to a
nightclub in Abuja, where operatives waited patiently through the night to
arrest the owners – Ogbonna and his friend, Kelvin Ilonah.
“They were arrested at about 5am
on Saturday, and they led operatives to their three-flat apartment, where
documents retrieved showed that it was rented at a rate of N13million per
annum.”
