Senator Akpabio Asks Federal Government To Seize Money In Any Foreign Account Traced To Him

Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio has denied owning any property in Dubai, United Arab Emirate or any other foreign country.

Akpabio in a statement challenged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to seize any money found in a foreign bank account bearing his name.

The Senate Minority Leader and former governor of Akwa Ibom State was denying reports that accused him of making a secret attempt to withdraw $7.2 billion from banks in Dubai, United Arab Emirate, through channels in the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had recently signed agreements with the United Arab Emirate on the repatriation of Nigeria’s stolen funds deposited in that country.

According to him, “We challenge these purveyors of falsehood to publish the full details of the purported $7.2 billion account and we urge the Federal Government of Nigeria to seize such sum and prosecute the owner if it does exist. People should learn to accept the outcome of elections and stop this kind of dangerous propaganda in the name of politics,” said Akpabio.
