The report says it was not clear why the operatives were at her Abuja residence.
Nnamdi-Ogbue had earlier been tipped as owner of the apartment where the EFCC discovered millions of dollars in Lagos on Wednesday, April 12
An unnamed member of her family denied that Nnamdi-Ogbue owned the Lagos apartment and the cash found in it.
“They were actually at home yesterday (Wednesday), when they heard that EFCC officials were in the building. Nnamdi, her husband, had a slight fever and was at home with his son.
“No one ever came to their apartment at the time of the raid and I can confirm that Esther is in Abuja as we speak,” he said.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com gathered that Sahara Reporters, which had earlier tipped Nnamdi-Ogbue as the alleged owner of the apartment, says it has now confirmed that the said apartment belongs to an unnamed daughter of former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees chairman Tony Anenih.
NAIJ.com recalls that the EFCC held a sting operation on Wednesday, April 12 in a residential building in the 7th Floor of a four - bedroom apartment at Osborne Towers located at 16, Osborne road Ikoyi and discovered huge cash in different currencies.
Bankers were brought in with their counting machines and the total amount was put at $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m.
