\n
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday received a petition to investigate the source of money conveyed in bullion vans to the home of the All Progressive Congress (APC) National Leader Bola Tinubu on the eve of the 2019 presidential election.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

The convener of Concerned Nigerians Deji Adeyanju submitted a petition to the EFCC to investigate Tinubu on Friday.<\/p>\n

EFCC is empowered by law to prevent, investigate, prosecute and penalise economic and financial crimes and is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of\u00a0other laws and regulations relating to economic and financial crimes.<\/p>\n

A copy of the petition seen by The Guardian has the stamp of the EFCC has received the petition requesting it to investigate the former Lagos State governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the best of our knowledge, Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a private citizen who ordinarily should not be seen with a convoy of Bullion Vans,\u201d Adeyanju said after submitting the petition.<\/p>\n

The petition reads, \u201cThe commission would recall that it was reported all over the news that Bullion Vans allegedly Contammg an undisclosed amount of cash were Seen entering the home of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Lagos State on the eve of Nigeria presidential elections. Tinubu himself admitted to this fact\u00a0While responding to questioning by journalists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Adeyanju wants the anti-graft agency to answer these questions: \u201cWhat are Bullion Vans doing in the house of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu?<\/p>\n

\u201cWho owns the content, believing to be cash in the Bullion Vans that were seen entering the house of Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the eve of Nigerian presidential elections?<\/p>\n

\u201cHas the commission, based on its core mandates, investigated the source of the Bullion Vans?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
