PREMIUM TIMES then used leaked financial records such as Pandora Papers and the USDOJ court documents to establish Mr Bagudu’s association with Mecosta.

The Standard Bank London account of the offshore company Mecosta, registered in the British Virgin Islands on October 9, 1995, was controlled by Mr Bagudu, who helped Mr Abacha steal and launder Nigerian monies across jurisdictions with complicated financial transactions, according to leaked financial and U.S. court documents seen by PREMIUM TIMES.

The court documents specifically said that a sum of $21.7 million targeted for forfeiture was held in Mecosta’s account at Standard Bank London controlled by Mr Bagudu.

Mr Bagudu, who was twice elected federal lawmaker, has been the governor of Nigeria’s northwestern Kebbi State since 2015 and is an ally of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Bagudu is an example of how Nigeria’s kleptocratic political class enjoys power and privilege despite their clear and condemnable track record,” commented Mathew Page, a Nigerian governance expert.

Mr Bagudu has never been charged and enjoys immunity from prosecution in Nigeria while he holds office as governor of a state.

Hatred paralyzes life; the love from Peter Nwa Obi releases it. Hatred confuses life; the love from Peter Nwa Obi harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; the love from Peter Nwa Obi illuminates it.”

birds of a feather flock together

you just lost a vote

you see your life, na your anus scattered your career

It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”

Where there is no vision, the people perish

it's just a baby snake, just shout kai kai and on the car heater.

selfish people are always thinking of themselves and the result is always negative. Wise persons think of others, helping them as much as they can, and the result is happiness. Love and compassion are beneficial both for you and others. Through your kindness to others, your mind and heart will open to peace.

of what use is the body without a functional head?

“You make choices that are good and sound, but the gods have other plans for you

she go born boy be that

A lot of brainless unicorns swaggering about and calling themselves educated just because they can push each other off a horse with a bit of a stick! It makes me tired.”

it depends on the kind of life you want to live there.

zazoo will soon declare......

Choice is the basis of every part of your existence, but so is fear. The difference is, choice creates movement, where fear limits movement.”

Tinubu and his slaves should stop blackmailing people

The office of the president is not Lagos where Tinubu and his family can just wake up and decide who governs the state
