According to him, the money was quickly retrieved after Kanu informed him that the payment had been made by mistake and was not meant for the purpose it was later linked to.

He said the instruction to return the funds came directly from Kanu.


Ejiofor added that he transferred the money back the same day it was credited to his account using details of a proxy nominated to receive the funds.

He also said he plans to publish the transaction receipt and account details connected to the transfer for full transparency.
