Against the back-drop of a growing claim that Minister of Finance, Dr (Mrs) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had allegedly bought a mansion worth N1.2 billion in Maitama, Abuja, the company which allegedly sold the property to the minister, EFAB properties Ltd, has denied the claim.

An online news website, pointblanknews.com, has alleged that the Abuja property company sold a mansion worth N1.2 billion in Maitama, Abuja, to the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr Okonjo-Iweala, in November 2011, insisting that it has "overwhelming evidence to prove that she owns the mansion but if she insists we are wrong, she knows where to seek redress."

However, chairman of the property company, Chief (Dr) Fabian Nworah, has, in a press release signed and made available to the Nigerian Tribune, denied the story.

"It has been brought to our attention that pointblanknews.com claimed that EFAB Properties Ltd sold a property at No.3, Nwaora Close, off Gana Street, Maitama, to Dr Okonjo-Iweala. It is a fact that we have properties for sale at the above address, but none has been sold as of today (January 11). We want to say categorically that we did not sell any of the houses to Dr Oknjo-Iweala," the statement said, calling on inquisitive Nigerians to visit AGIS, Abuja or Syndicate Plaza, Plot 404, Ahmadu Bello Way, Garki II, Abuja, for confirmation.

The Nigerian press is completely useless.

She has denied it previously. The so-called seller has now denied it. You still doubt it. The onus is on you and people like you to prove it.

Just the way Thief-nubu built Orient hotel with Lagos tax money abi?

@Nchara

Please stop twisting my words, I had doubts that she could buy a 1.2billion naira house, that was why we argued for long on another thread, the point I am trying to make is not to believe whatever anybody says until it is confirmed by a trusted third party.

Okay! You had doubts, she has denied it and the seller has denied it, yet you still insinuate someone is covering up? What do you want, my friend?

Based on our previous discussion and this, your doubts appear very fake. I believe you believe she did it.

It is your prerogative to believe whatever you like, my own standpoint is I can not take the words of a typical Nigerian business man as gospel truth, there are NDAs and other sorts of agreements that debar people from divulging information.

Please o, but why won't the seller deny knowing what happened to fountain bank after tafa balogun's loots were discovered there? why won't you deny when you have spent almost half of the money used in buying the purported asset? the stress of returning the money? the stress of selling the house to another buyer just to raise back the money if you ever find a buyer? and the possible search-light on other business activities of the so-called company?

Who knows if the company also handled alot of sales to other criminals in government?
