According to a statement by Daniel Okpotu, Media Assistant to the Abba Kyari Family, Kyari has accounts in only four banks: UBA, GTB, Sterling, and Access, totaling 10 accounts, including savings, current, dollar, and euro accounts.
The combined balance of these accounts is less than N4 million, with Kyari’s dollar and euro accounts inactive for 12 years. Total deposits and withdrawals over 23 years amount to N200 million, including salaries, allowances, and legitimate expenses.
