Tinubu Named Finalist In Occrp’s 2024 List Of Organised Crime And Corruption. by Ironfaceman(op): 6:24pm On Jan 01, 2025
President Bola Tinubu has been named a
finalist for the 2024 ‘corrupt person of the year’

in a list compiled by the Organised Crime and
Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
Established in 2012 by the OCCRP, the ironic
honour highlights individuals extensively involved
in organised crime and corruption.
The latest compilation was published on
Tuesday.
The OCCRP said Tinubu was nominated by
readers, journalists, person of the year judges,
and others in the project’s global network.

In May 2023 , an OCCRP investigation found that
Tinubu, president-elect at the time, was linked to
20 properties his associates bought in the
United Kingdom (UK) when he was serving as
governor of Lagos.
According to the report, 17 of the properties
were bought by Oladipo Eludoyin, Tinubu’s
associate and a director of Aranda Overseas
Corp., between 2004 and 2007.
Some 24 hours before the report was published,
a Bloomberg investigation exposed that Seyi,
Tinubu’s son, is the main shareholder of Aranda
Overseas Corp.—an offshore company he used
in purchasing a $10.8 million property under
probe by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).

The OCCRP said a year after the president
forfeited $460,000 to the US government in
1993 as proceeds of narcotics trafficking, Abeeb
Holdings Limited, an offshore company
registered in Gibraltar with Tinubu as the
beneficial owner, bought Flat 9 at 96-100 New
Cavendish Street in London.
The OCCRP said it later found that Eludoyin is
also the beneficial owner of 17 UK properties
through three offshore companies registered in
the British Virgin Islands.
The organization added that Babatunde Fashola,
Tinubu’s former aide and successor, and
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the incumbent governor of
Lagos, also had a hand in controlling Aranda
Overseas Corp.’s internal affairs.
Court documents from a Chicago case had
claimed that in the early 1990s, Tinubu was
linked to bank accounts allegedly used to
launder money for a heroin ring in Chicago.
