The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has come out to deny claims that they raided the home of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in search of N400 billion.
A report went viral on social media that the commission had invaded the house of the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer in a bid to expose the former Lagos state governor.
In a statement released by the EFCC on Sunday afternoon, February 19, 2023, the anti-graft agency denied recovering N400 billion from the presidential candidate’s house in Budillon.
