The Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Prof. Adebowale Adefuye, has refuted media reports that the leadership of the Embassy in Washington DC was using its bank accounts to launder  huge amounts of money for some state governors and government officials.

The ambassadar also confirmed that both the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC and Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York did not operate any bank accounts with Wells Fargo and Bank of America as stated in the report which he called a ‘wicked bid’ to undermine the leadership of the Embassy.
