A statement released by EFCC states that investigations into the owner of the funds revealed that the money belongs to a former deputy governorship candidate in Niger State. 

The suspect uses the names of two companies– Katah Property & Investment Limited and Sadiq Air Travel Agency- in laundering the funds.
