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. https://www.thecable.ng/tinubu-named-finalist-in-occrps-2024-list-of-organised-crime-and-corruption/
