SAN FRANCISCO, January 12, (THEWILL) – The real estate company that allegedly sold a property in the Maitama District of Abuja to the Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has denied selling neither the property nor any other property to the Minister.

“It is a fact that we have properties for sale at the above address but none has been sold as at today – January 11, 2012. We are still looking for buyers and we want to say categorically that we did not sell any house to Dr. Ngozi Okonjo –Iweala...
“At no point in time did pointbllanknews.com interview me or any of my staff on the sale of property,” the Chairman wrote.
Meanwhile, the Minister has said she would sue the online medium for the report after it insisted that it has “overwhelming evidence to prove that she owns the mansion”... adding, “but if she insists we are wrong she knows where to seek redress.”
