Timipre Sylva denies owning 48 houses , says he owns only 3 in Abuja by Whatelse(m) : 8:32 am |
Former Bayelsa state governor , Timipre Sylva,
has denied media reports that the EFCC has returned 48 houses seized from him while carrying out investigations into allegations of misappropriation of funds while he was in office . In a statement released yesterday by his media adviser, Doifie Buokoribo , the former governor stated that there was no time the courts confirmed his ownership of such property. “ We have read a report in a national newspaper, which was reproduced by a few online publications and in the social media , claiming that Chief Timipre Sylva had ‘ retrieved 48 of his properties which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission seized during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan. We view this report with disgust, given its unconcealed speculation and vindictiveness regarding such a sensitive matter . For the avoidance of doubt , Sylva does not own 48 buildings in Abuja or anywhere in the world. So the issue of reclaiming ‘ 48 houses ’ does not arise . He has only three houses in Abuja , which he built before he became the governor of Bayelsa State. This point has been made several times before , and neither EFCC nor those who had used EFCC as a tool of persecution against Sylva during the Goodluck Jonathan administration have contradicted this fact. EFCC had taken their allegations of property ownership against Sylva to several courts without establishing anything against the former governor during the Jonathan era.
