The United States Denies Having Any Corruption Case Against Atiku by Africankel(m): 11:52pm On Oct 07, 2018
BAYO AKINLOYE

The United States Department of Justice has denied having any record that indicates that Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has a pending lawsuit in the US.

In an email to our correspondent on Friday, a spokesperson for the US DOJ, Peter Carr said, “Thank you for reaching out to us. I have checked the public court records, and they do not show cases filed against a defendant named Atiku Abubakar.”

This was stated as a response to SUNDAY PUNCH’s request for information on whether Abubakar is wanted in the US in connection with any issue of money laundering.

The mail also asked the department to confirm whether Abubakar has been banned from entering the US and if there is any court case against him concerning the Halliburton scandal which resulted in the conviction of a US lawmaker, William Jefferson.

Asked if it is true that the ex-vice president (now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress) was banned from entering the US, the American official said the issue was confidential.

He said, “Visa issues are confidential under section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If your question is specifically about entry – not about visas per se – I would refer you to the US Customs and Border Protection.”

Last week, Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, had implied that Abubakar was avoiding a visit to the US because he might be charged with a case of money laundering.

He reacted to Abubakar’s interview which he granted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s quarterly publication, Zero Tolerance, where he had accused the Kaduna governor of corruption by offering him Transcorp’s shares.

Investigative journalism is the key. No guess work pls.
Atiku is ok for 2019. All politicians in Nigeria are corrupt in one way or the other, including Buhari so let the pretense stop.
Buhari failed me big time by messing up the economy and being so tribalistic. I wont support him again.

December he's going there to chill, just calm down and watch how things unfold

He's not going anywhere.

America is not Nigeria where you twist the law with impunity.

His wife has fled the states and they sold their house in Maryland a few months ago.

The important thing is actually not his visiting but the fact that it has been documented by an independent body that he is a thief.

His accomplice, Siemens, has fessed up to its wrongdoings but trust Naija man, even on the cross of Calvary he go hold ground.

Lastly, a few months ago, you guys said he was travelling to the States in 7 days or something like that, and I insisted he was going nowhere.

Atiku is a criminal and that is not in question.

Which good businessman isn't? You know what, fvck corruption, what Nigeria needs at the moment is a unifier and a detribalized leader. Buhari that isn't a criminal, what good has he done the country if not harm? He is poor but his wife is a billionaire and his son's bike alone can pay minimum wages of an entire state workers, abegiii. sad

That's the story the corrupt people love to say.

Corruption is a malaise, a disease that causes all the strife a nation goes through.


As regards Yusuf Buhari's bike, I challenge you to provide the specification of the bike.

Heck, I'll go one better and tell us the colour of the bike.

You see, until you provide facts and not conjecture, honest, intelligent people would tell you to your face that you are lying.

Provide facts or you are simply a supporter of corruption.

You are the one making the travel to the states, the great deal whilst trivializing the brazen and proven corruption as stated in the report.

I did not open the thread. I simply contributed to it by stating the facts.

If you like , you can beat around the bush.

The attached link is a document from a US SENATE Committe and it cites Atiku as a corrupt African leader.

Make of it what you may.

It doesn't change the fact that he is a thief.
