He said what was found in Emefiele's residence was just a cash of N300,000 and a license to own rifle guns, adding that someone with Emefiele's status can own.
According to him:
"DSS, upon searching Emefiele's house, found only N300,000 in his house. Does it mean that Emefiele, from his legitimate earning, cannot have N300,000 in his house? And a license for pump-action gun, that is the only thing they found in his house."
