Musiliu Obanikoro has alleged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) plans to forge receipts from blank letter headed papers recovered from his Lagos residence.
He disclosed that amongst the items carted away from his residence were the blank letter headed papers.
The former minister of state for defence stated this on Friday, July 8 through his media aide, Jonathan Eze.
He said: “Recall that when the EFCC illegally raided my houses in Lagos, they went away with various documents which included blanked signed letter headed papers as testified in the Affidavit sworn in Court.
“It has however come to my notice that the EFCC has allegedly written an acknowledgement on one of the document purportedly as evidence that I collected the equivalent sum of one million dollars in cash from a Bureau De Change and signed for it.
“This is another lie from the pit of hell. How can anybody change money from a Bureau De Change and sign for it? I still insist that throughout my stay as Minister, I never collected any money from any Bureau De Change and as such, I urge the public to ignore the EFCC who are trying to skew up investigations in its favour.
“The EFCC has obviously betrayed public trust by its latest sinister plan of manufacturing receipt in my name. Instead of genuinely carrying out its mandate, it has been grossly overshadowed by political wiles.”
