A close associate of the detained former Principal Secretary to the immediate past president Goodluck Jonathan, Hassan Tukur, Mr. Akeem Babalola has described as pure fallacy, a report by an online medium that "out of $40m collected by Hassan Tukur to facilitate negotiation of the release of abducted Chibok schoolgirls by the Boko Haram sect, he gave only $5m (five million dollars) to the Chadian President, Idriss Derby, and pocketed the rest of the money, which amounted to $35m (thirty-five million dollars)."
