According to Leadership Newspaper, a top member of the House of Representatives is said to have been discovered to own a multi-million naira mansion in Abuja outside what he declared to the CCB. The discovery was made during the 2016 budget padding controversy.

There are also a number of other lawmakers who had made claims contrary to the CCB Act, a situation, according to sources, that make them uncomfortable as the acting EFCC chairman may have got information from the CCB for their investigation.
