Former Chairman of PDP, Mu’azu Adamu, Senator Solomon Adeola, Amaechi among other prominent Nigerians were linked to being owners of the money, buy they denied.
While the NIA has, however, reportedly claimed the money, Rivers State Governor, Wike said the money was part of funds looted by Ameachi when he was in government. Amaechi also denied it.
