Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has rejected reports alleging new claims over outstanding consultancy fees linked to his company, describing the stories as inaccurate, misleading, and a distortion of verified facts.
In a statement issued on Friday by his media team in Abuja, he reacted to what he labelled “malicious” publications surrounding the Paris Club refund matter.
He explained that the issue has already been thoroughly investigated multiple times by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, with each review arriving at the same conclusion.
According to the statement, four separate EFCC investigations confirmed that the contractual obligations were duly carried out, while any unresolved payments are still governed by existing agreements.
The statement also cited records from the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria, noting that both institutions hold documentation backing the payments made and the audit processes related to the case.
It dismissed claims linking the senator to any improper dealings involving the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, describing such allegations as unfounded and malicious.
Nwoko further accused certain individuals of spreading false information, revealing that legal action has already been taken against what he described as defamatory publications.
He insisted there is no new claim in the matter and strongly denied suggestions that $350 million was ever paid to him or his company.
