We don’t have criminal case
against Atiku – US



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.
