Tinubu Meets EFCC Chairman, Housing Minister Over Disposal Of Seized Properties

President *Bola Tinubu* on Tuesday met with the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), *Ola Olukoyede*, and the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, *Ahmed Musa Dangiwa*, at the State House in Abuja.

MOUTHPIECE NGR gathered that the meeting focused on the management and disposal of properties seized nationwide by the anti-graft agency.

In a statement released Tuesday night, the State House said discussions centred on ensuring transparency and accountability in handling the seized houses.

The statement read: “Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, and Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the management and disposal of seized houses nationwide, in line with the rules of transparency and accountability, at the State House, Abuja. Tuesday, August 18, 2026.”

The meeting comes days after President Tinubu urged the EFCC to unfreeze Osun State Government accounts.

Ahead of the August 15 governorship election, the EFCC had secured a freezing order on August 5. The Commission said it was investigating alleged mismanagement of ecology funds, intervention funds, and allocations received by the state from the Federation Account Allocation Committee.

The funds under investigation were said to amount to about *₦11 billion*.

The Osun State Government subsequently approached the Federal High Court in Abuja to challenge the order, seeking its nullification and *₦2 billion* in exemplary damages. The state also accused the EFCC of embarking on an unsubstantiated “witch-hunt” since March.

However, following his re-election, *Governor Ademola Adeleke* said he had instructed the state Attorney General to withdraw the suit against the EFCC.

Speaking on Channels Television’s _Sunday Politics_, the governor attributed the resolution to Tinubu’s intervention.

“I’m putting them behind. What else do I want? I have instructed my Attorney General to drop it. Mr President has done well. He called me. What more do I want?” Adeleke said.
