Officials of
the anti-graft agency sealing one of the buildings in Abuja.
The spokesperson for the former governor; Mr Doifie Ola said
none of the former governor’s properties has been seized by the anti-graft
agency.
He told Channels Television in Abuja that the former
governor does not own any 48 properties in Abuja or anywhere in the world
He further explained that all the properties owned by
his boss were aptly declared ahead of his swearing as the elected governor of
Bayelsa state.
Mr Ola described the prosecution of the former governor
as being politically motivated and that there is no court order directing the
seizure of properties belonging to the former governor.
Meanwhile the anti-graft agency said it has valid court
orders as officials of the anti-graft agency commenced the sealing of some of
the properties allegedly belonging to the Mr. Sylva within the nation’s
capital.
Despite the controversy over this order, the question of
who owns these houses is yet to be answered.
Mr Silva is facing charges of misappropriating N6.46 billion
state funds while in office.
