The Akasoba of Kalabari land, Queen Zainab Duke-Abiola, has stated that she has evidence that the minister who Adams Oshiomole claimed stole $6 billion, stole even more.
Duke-Abiola, who is a wife of the late M.K.O Abiola, revealed that she got her information from the White House.
"According to the information available to us, the minister stole more than $9 billion; not Australian dollars, but US dollars," she said in an interview with The Nation.
"My relationship with White House is over 30 years. Americans are very eager to make sure that the money gets back. They want Nigeria to use that money for education," Duke-Abiola said on the authenticity of the allegations.
"Oshiomhole said it's about $6 billion. Information available to me states that the minister and her associates siphoned away $9.3 billion. I'm watching the game that they're playing. If they don't publish the evidence, I have document to support this," she said.
"Some people said that much money couldn't have been stolen, I was one of those who didn't believe. When they gave me the document, I was shocked. I have sent it to the appropriate Niger Delta elders. So, we know that nobody is accusing anybody wrongly," she said.
