He said, “Though we are currently investigating the whole issue but it is certain that the said fraud is worth more than N80 billion.

“It is true that some properties in London, Dubai, Lagos and Abuja are linked to the Accountant-General and I believe more revelations would soon be made soon. He used proxies to buy some of these properties and we will be engaging the proxies shortly, as we will not leave any stone untouched.”
