The investigation maintained that there is no suggestion that Tinubu was personally involved in the acquisition of the property. According to the Bloomberg report, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2016 secured an order to seize the property from Kola Aluko, an ally of Diezani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum interestingly, the forfeiture order was still in force when Tinubu’s son bought the house out of receivership. In another development, on Tuesday, the Chairperson of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission Abike Dabiri-Erewa, announced via twitter that the Nigerian Embassy in Egypt has moved all evacuees from the Sudanese side of the boarder to the Egyptian side of the border after the intervention of President Mohammedu Buhari.

The commission further stated that the Nigerian students were being prepared to be airlifted through the Aswan Airport, by Africa’s largest private airline, Airpeace which landed in Egypt at about 9pm on Tuesday. The airline however stated that upon arrival the evacuated Nigerian students were no where in sight.

According to reports, embassy officials informed the Airline that the stranded students have not left the Egyptian border because their bus transfer to the Airport, has not been arranged by the National Emergency Management Agency.

Wike urged the people of the state to come out in great numbers to give the president-elect a rousing welcome during his visit because Rivers state is the first state Tinubu would be visiting since he won the election.
