Website Igbo Times Magazine made the contentious allegation that EFCC officers discovered almost N400 billion in old cash after searching one of Tinubu’s subterranean residences.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, allegedly had N400 billion stolen from his home by officials from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. This assertion has been debunked by the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council. The Campaign committee also urged that the publishers be imprisoned for libel at the same time.
The APC PCC reacted after the EFCC denied carrying out the raid on the residence of the former governor of Lagos State. A claim that Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, had an EFCC raid on his “underground house” was denied by the Party’s presidential campaign council.

After it was stated that the anti-graft agency, purportedly working under President Muhammadu Buhari’s orders, found N400 billion in Mr. Tinubu’s residence during the raid, there was uproar. In a statement, the Campaign Council claimed that the article lacked the crucial who, what, when, and how elements that make a news story go viral. The statement was issued by Bayo Onanuga, director of media and publicity.
According to the internet information source, investigations are still underway to determine which bank manager allowed Mr. Tinubu access to these monies. According to the narrative, the cash discovered in Tinubu’s underground residence matched the total amount of notes that the CBN had issued for all of Nigeria.
Are These Reports Real or Just Rumors?
In a statement, Bayo Onanuga, the director of media and publicity for the PCC, also claimed that the campaign council had discovered the phony website had been made to disseminate nasty and untrue information about their candidate. The EFCC deserves praise for promptly denying involvement in the bogus news by publishing an official statement addressing the supposed raid by its troops, but the former managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria encouraged national security groups to go after the website owners.
The information gathered momentum on social media until the anti-graft organization denied it on Sunday. They beg the authorities to locate those in charge of the website that is heedlessly propagating bogus news before more harm is done to their democracy, he added. They also wished to warn Nigerians from trusting any news they may hear on the website or through its social media pages.
The bank manager is arrested, right?
According to the allegation, the website—which on Facebook and Twitter appears to have ties to the Labour Party—went further and said in another post that Mr. Muhammadu has mandated the detention of the bank manager who gave the APC candidate the false monies.

The federal government allegedly planned to borrow money from kidnappers in Kaduna since they are wealthier than their country, according to other fake stories on the website, which the APC Campaign Council said were attributed to Lai Mohammed, the minister of media and culture.
