Bukola Saraki, the president of the Nigerian senate who is currently facing allegations that he failed to declare his assets, owns a property in Belgravia in his own name. The Panama Papers reveal the £5.7m property next door to be owned by companies incorporated in the Seychelles and BVI, whose respective shareholders are Saraki’s wife and former special assistant. Saraki told the Guardian he had declared all his assets correctly and in accordance with Nigerian legislation.

In another instance, a £1.65m townhouse in Kensington and Chelsea is shown as belonging to a BVI company whose sole shareholder is Folorunsho Coker, the former head of the number plate production authority of the state of Lagos and currently business adviser to the governor of Lagos. Coker’s lawyer said he had multiple sources of income and had always declared his interest in Satori Holdings to the Nigerian authorities.

A BVI company owned by former Nigerian Ports Authority director Mallam Bello Gwandu holds a Maida Vale flat ... and bought a flat in St George Wharf for £450,000 more than 10 years ago
