$5 Billion CASH HIDDEN In Buhari’s Home? See What Was Recently Discovered
A claim circulating on social media alleges that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided a New York house supposedly owned by former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, uncovering $5 billion in cash and $700 million in gold. However, an investigation into the claim has found no credible evidence to support this assertion.
Origins of the Claim
The rumor, widely shared on platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), suggests that former U. S. President Donald Trump ordered a crackdown on Nigerian politicians’ properties in the U. S. , leading to the discovery of the alleged wealth. Some social media users expressed shock, while others dismissed the claim as false.
One post stated:
” Breaking News: $5 Billion in Cash and $700 Million in Gold Found in Buhari’ s New York Residence as FBI Raids Property; Trump Orders Clampdown on Nigerian Politicians’ Homes. ”
No Evidence to Support the Allegation
A review of credible sources, including international news outlets and fact- checking platforms, found no reports of such a raid. Given the scale of the alleged discovery, it is unlikely that global media organizations would ignore such a major incident.

Furthermore, Buhari has consistently maintained that he owns only three houses— one in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, and two in Kaduna. In January 2025, he reiterated that he supports himself through rental income from one of his properties in Kaduna.
Additionally, in May 2023, Buhari publicly stated that he had no property outside Nigeria, reinforcing the lack of evidence for the claims circulating online.
Conclusion
The claim that the FBI raided Buhari’ s alleged New York home and found billions of dollars in cash and gold is baseless. There is no credible source to confirm the allegations, and Buhari’ s known assets contradict the rumors. This misinformation highlights the need for caution when sharing unverified reports online.
