I’m Not The Owner Of Discovered Billions In Lagos – Adeola

Senator representing Lagos West, Senator
Solomon Adeola has denied ownership of the N15
billion recovered by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Lagos yesterday. Adeola In a statement signed by his media adviser, Chief
Kayode Odunaro and made available to newsmen
on Thursday, Senator Adeola debunked the
allegation published by some online media (Not
Vanguard) saying it is totally false. “The attention of Senator Solomon Adeola (Lagos
West) aka Yayi has been drawn to an online story
alleging that the N15 billion in foreign and local
currencies discovered by Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC in an apartment at
Osborne Towers in Lagos belong to him. “As published by Lagos Herald quoting
“Africanreporters” the senator is alleged to have
stashed the huge cash for his rumoured ambition
to be a governor of a state. “There is absolutely no iota of truth in this obvious
blackmail targeted at destroying the rising profile
of the senator who had spent over 14 years in
public office without any blemish. We are aware
that some politicians are having sleepless nights on
his impeccable records as a grassroots democrat and will do anything to eliminate him in their
paranoid political equation towards 2019. “Senator Adeola does not own any house or
apartment on Osborne Towers at Osborne Road,
Ikoyi and could not have been the owner of the
discovered cash in the apartment. The senator will
in due course not hesitate to take legal action
against anyone unjustly tarnishing his hard earned reputation and image pursuant of his fundamental
rights under the constitution. “The EFCC as a credible anti corruption
organization is doing it statutory duty and I am
sure it will soon come out with details of the
ownership of the discovered humongous cash. “Insinuations attributing Senate decisions on
national issues to Senator Adeola shows perfect
ignorance of the working of the legislature in a
democracy and indeed Senator Adeola as an APC
Senator is fully committed to the anti-corruption
agenda of President Mohamadu Buhari and APC.”
