The presidency has denied the allegation that it gave N100m to the parents of the abducted Chibok girls during their visit to the State House.

There were earlier reports that the parents of the girls were given the money. Former Minister of Education and a leader of the BringBackOurGirls campaign, Oby Ezekwesili condemned the alleged act, describing it as ‘Filthy lucre and disgusting’ via her twitter handle, @obyezeks.

In a swift reaction, Dr.Doyin Okupe, Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, labelled the alleged N100m cash gift as ‘falsehood’.
