Against the back-drop of a growing claim that Minister of Finance, Dr (Mrs) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had allegedly bought a mansion worth N1.2 billion in Maitama, Abuja, the company which allegedly sold the property to the minister, EFAB properties Ltd, has denied the claim.
An online news website, pointblanknews.com, has alleged that the Abuja property company sold a mansion worth N1.2 billion in Maitama, Abuja, to the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr Okonjo-Iweala, in November 2011, insisting that it has “overwhelming evidence to prove that she owns the mansion but if she insists we are wrong, she knows where to seek redress.”
However, chairman of the property company, Chief (Dr) Fabian Nworah, has, in a press release signed and made available to the Nigerian Tribune, denied the story.
“It has been brought to our attention that pointblanknews.com claimed that EFAB Properties Ltd sold a property at No.3, Nwaora Close, off Gana Street, Maitama, to Dr Okonjo-Iweala. It is a fact that we have properties for sale at the above address, but none has been sold as of today (January 11). We want to say categorically that we did not sell any of the houses to Dr Oknjo-Iweala,” the statement said, calling on inquisitive Nigerians to visit AGIS, Abuja or Syndicate Plaza, Plot 404, Ahmadu Bello Way, Garki II, Abuja, for confirmation.
