Presidency To Probe Nigerians Named In Panama Papers by ganisucks(f): 12:43pm On Aug 19, 2016 |
The senate president, Bukola Saraki, and hispredecessor, David Mark, and other prominent Nigerians may soon be in troubleas the Presidency has ordered the investigation of present and past Nigerian officials named in the Panama Papers scandal.The chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, Sam Saba, confirmed the directive to PREMIUM TIMES.This newspaper had published leaked papers from a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonsecca, which were obtained by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.The 2.6 TB files, involving 214,488 entities, exposed incredible secrets of the underworld economy, where a network of banks, law firms and other middlemen utilize shell companies, sometimes to hide illegal wealth.PREMIUM TIMES identified at least 110 Nigerians and companies operating offshore shell companies in tax havens.Mr. Saba said the Presidency forwarded names of some persons mentioned in the Panama Papers, to the agency for investigation.“I want to let you know that government has written to us and given us some names based on what they have been reading and hearing regarding that document,” Mr. Saba said. He said as soon as the #PanamaPapers reporting started, the CCB attempted to get the full leaks until PREMIUM TIMES assisted it by making some details for its scrutiny. Mr. Saba said the CCB, after studying the papers, has questions for some public officers in the country. He would not, however, disclose the names of the affected public officers.“I think it (Panama Papers) is going to be helpful because already we have some questions for certain public officers, which I will not be able to disclose at the moment. Until they finish answering those questions,I may not be able to discuss it,” he said.The CCB boss said the agency took some time to respond because it could not securethe leaked documents.“I tried to access the document via the internet, but I was required to subscribe and pay some money, which I didn’t have,” Mr. Saba said.“That was what stalled our effort at the time. But I later asked my counterpart in theICPC if he was in the picture and he replied in the negative. He, however, advised me to approach PREMIUM TIMES.”Public officers who may be investigated by the CCB. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/208848-exclusive-saraki-mark-others-trouble-presidency-orders-probe-nigerians-named-panamapapers.html |

Good News! Mr Buhari, kindly build more prisons to accommodate all these criminals, and also fix our legal system of crawling processes. Many people's comments here show that we have gotten so used to corruption that we empathize with it. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Long awaited news. There should be no sacred cows here. Whoever has been implicated should carry his cross. Notwithstanding whoever the "agbara" at the helm of affairs is, the reign of impunity and lacklustre actions and reactions should be getting to an irrevocable end. 1 Like |
