Gowon Breaks Silence On Looting Half Of CBN

Gowon has opened up on looting half of CBN.
OnyxNews Nigeria reports that a former military head of state, Yakubu Gowon, has described allegations that he looted half of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as “rubbish”.
A member of the UK Parliament, Tom Tugendhat had made the claims that Gowon stole half of CBN during a debate on shootings of protesters at Lekki toll gate.
Speaking at the UK parliament committee debate on a petition on the #EndSARS crisis, the UK Parliament member had urged the UK to call out corruption and use its powers to stop who profit from Nigeria’s wealth and hide it in foreign countries.

“Some people will remember when General Gowon left Nigeria with half of the Central Bank, so it is said, and moved to London,” he said.
However, Gowon described the allegations as “rubbish” in an interview with the BBC.
Gowon said: “What the MP said is rubbish. I don’t know where he got that rubbish from. I served Nigeria diligently and my records are there for all to see.
“I did not want to speak on this issue because people that know me know that what the MP said is not true.”
Recall that Gowon was Nigeria’s Head of State from 1966 to 1975.
