Big lie! $1m was not found in my house –Badeh

Former Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh has denied that $1,000,000 cash was found in his house.

The former CDS, who was yesterday remanded in prison custody, stated this through a statement by his counsel, Samuel O. Zibri, SAN.

According to Zibri, the publication is not only malicious but wicked, insisting that it is a totally false media campaign of calumny against Badeh.

“The 10-count charge against our client along with the proof of evidence in the Federal High Court are public documents and can be accessed by the general public.

“There is no such allegation and we challenge the faceless EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) official to substantiate his claim.

“The trial has commenced and as a law-abiding citizen, our client will defend himself in accordance with the law.
