Former Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator of the Amnesty Programme, Brig. Gen. Paul Boroh who was recently relieved of position has debunked media reports that $9million was recovered from his apartment by officials from the Office of the National Security Adviser and the EFCC.


Boroh made the clarification on Wednesday when his wife addressed newsmen. She said no cash was found in their house, and described the allegation as fabrication of lies, false, malicious and calculated attempt to mislead the public.


‘‘My attention has been drawn to the publication in some of the Nigerian media to the effect that $9million was recovered by the operatives of the EFCC from our house and premises in the course of their search.

 

‘‘This is to inform the general public that no cash was discovered and could not have been discovered by government operatives during their search in our house last Monday.


‘‘The publication by a section of the press stating the contrary is fabricated, false in its entirety, malicious and calculated to mislead the public.”


Recall that President Buhari had sacked Boroh last week and ordered the National Security Adviser to commence immediate investigation into his stewardship. Boroh had severally been accused of embezzlement of amnesty funds by some aggrieved Niger Delta ex-militants.
