Igbokwe reacts to EFCC’s revelation
Reacting to the report, Joe Igbokwe, in a Facebook post on Monday evening, December 2, alleged that the property was owned by the immediate past governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
“I hear with one ear that the 753 duplexes forfeited by an FCT Court in Apo belong to former CBN Gov Godwin Emefiele. This one choked me to the marrow. Many Nigerians no dey fear God again oooo. Godwin Emefiele is one of them.”
Although the EFCC did not mention the estate’s owner, the anti-graft agency has been probing the former apex bank governor and has secured several court judgments to take over the ownership of Emefiele’s property.
