I Owe Nobody Any Money – Abike Dabiri Erewa

BEVERLY HILLS, August 04, (THEWILL) – Former chairperson of the Diaspora Committee in the House of Representatives, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Tuesday, expressed shock at a newspaper publication linking her to a company owing Diamond Bank a whopping N100 million.

In a protest letter she personally signed and sent to The Editor, The Punch newspaper, Dabiri-Erewa distanced herself from the said company, insisting that she owed nobody any money.

The letter titled, Re: Emeka Offor, Abike Dabiri's Firms, Others Owe Banks N143.81bn, reads: “I was thoroughly embarrassed to see my picture on the front page of Punch Newspaper that Thriller Endeavor Company, claiming me as a director, owes about 100 Million Naira to Diamond Bank.

“I know nothing about the said company, Thriller Endeavor, or its activities, as mentioned in the publication.

“If the company claims I am a director in the said bank, then it has definitely done so without my knowledge and without my permission.

“ If this is the case, it's a case of fraud and will have to be brought to the attention of relevant security agencies, the bank in question, and the Central Bank of Nigeria.

“I once again state categorically that the company (Thriller Endeavour) is not known to me. As a very contented person, I owe nobody any money, not even myself.”
