Although the EFCC, in the court papers, said it discovered the property while investigating a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, the property, it added, were not directly linked to him.
However, in a statement, the EFCC, which denied allegations that it was shielding the identities of owners of assets, said it was the publisher of Sahara-reporters, Mr Omoyele Sowore, who linked the property to Emefiele and not the agency.
