EFCC, ONSA Arest Boroh, $9m Cash Recovered

The discovery of the cash was made a few hours after his arrest by a combined team of EFCC and operatives of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

 The Head, Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujiaren, confirmed the arrest and cash recovery in response to enquiries.

A senior security agent said Boroh was picked up from his home in Gwarinpa, Abuja, on Monday.

 He was reported to have been taken back to his residence at about 3 a.m. Tuesday by the security operatives who raided his house for hours and made the cash discovery of $9 million at his home.


 He remains in the custody of the EFCC. “The former adviser was driven to his home in an unmarked car after his arrest.

 His home was searched for several hours and about $9 million cash was discovered in several safe boxes in several parts of the house,” the senior security agent stated.

“The combined team of EFCC and the National Security Adviser operatives were very thorough with the search. Indeed, at a point, the operatives broke all the locks in the home including his wife’s closet. The recovered cash has been deposited at the Office of the NSA.”

 Buhari sacked Boroh last week and announced Prof. Charles Dokubo as his replacement.
