The son to the Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, obtained N20 million from one Mrs Florence Nwokocha, purportedly to invest in a lucrative oil and gas business with promises of mouth watery returns to the investor. Buhari was allegedly introduced to the lady by his account officer at Ecobank Plc and he agreed to pay Nwokocha, 30 percent annual interest on the sum.

The report reads, “But once the money was transferred,  Buhari cleaned out the account but never paid any interest to the woman.”
