Some faces behind a Sh25billion (N18billion) global money-laundering probe have been unmasked by INTERPOL, and they include Nigeria’s ex-VP and PDP Presidential flagbearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and Kenyan President-elect, Mr. William Samoei Arap Ruto.

Ruto served as the deputy president of Kenya since 2013. In the 2013 presidential election, he was elected the Deputy President alongside President Uhuru Kenyatta under the Jubilee Alliance ticket.

Now, Interpol’s investigation has revealed how the billions were moved into Kenya from Nigeria between October and November 2020 in a suspected racket in which four other Nigerians were named.

One of the Nigerians, identified as Alexander Ezenago, is a banker, and lecturer based in Dubai where Atiku presently resides. He was named as the suspected operations manager and money laundering advisor. He was reportedly found to have transferred money to Ruto and later married the president-elect’s daughter.

The three other Nigerians allegedly bought Bitcoins worth Sh5 billion in multiple countries, including at Kenya’s crypto exchange BitPesa.

A statement filed in a European investigation reveals that between August and September 2020, the Nigerians – Mr. Olubunmi Akinyemiju, Mr. Olufemi Olukunmi Demuren, and Mr. Eghosasere Nehikhare went on a shopping spree, purchasing Bitcoins at BitPesa and other exchanges, including Binance in the US and Busha in Nigeria.

The three Nigerians reportedly bought cryptocurrencies worth $36,353,728 (Sh4.2 billion) from US-registered firm Binance.

They also bought Bitcoins worth $7,246,582 (N3,045,955,812.06) (Sh839.5 million) from Busha over the same period.

According to reports, the money they used to purchase the cryptocurrencies was wired from their RemX Limited bank accounts in Kenya, RemX Inc, which is registered in the US, and RemX Nigeria.

Investigators believe the trio then redistributed the crypto to individual wallets to make them untraceable.

European investigators believe that Ruto and Atiku were the beneficiaries of the suspected money-laundering scheme.

The Nigerians allegedly enlisted the help of Kenyans for their shopping spree, which has drawn the attention of Kenyan and European investigative agencies, who are monitoring hundreds of transactions spanning at least three continents.

The cryptocurrency purchase is believed to have happened a month before the three wired Sh25.6 billion from Lagos to a network comprising more than 10 companies in Nairobi, an indication that the Nigerians might have transacted in Kenya long before setting off alarm bells in Europe.

To skirt around the strict money laundering rules in the US, the Nigerians and their Kenyan associates wired money into an account held in their companies’ names to create the impression that they were conducting “same company fund transfers”.

Once the money got to the US, the companies used Fedwire to send the money to Binance accounts to avoid detection.
