Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria’s former Vice President, and his wife Jennifer Douglas, received and laundered over six billion naira in corruption money through several American banks, the United States Senate announced yesterday in Washington DC.

The revelation was contained in a 330-page report of the U.S. Senate’s permanent sub-committee on investigations, a part of the Homeland Securities and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee which investigated the use of offshore companies to bring what was called “dirty money” into the United States.

According to the report, in the eight years that Mr. Abubakar was vice president, “from 2000 to 2008, Mr. Abubakar and Ms. Douglas used a network of accounts at U.S. financial institutions to bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States, through multiple wire transfers supplied by offshore corporations located in Germany, Nigeria, Panama, the British Virgin Islands, and Switzerland.”

The committee had very harsh words for Mrs Abubakar who it said, used a large portion of the corruption money to furnish her lavish lifestyle in the United States, “paying credit card bills and household expenses in the range of $10,000 to $90,000 per month, including substantial legal and accounting bills,” the report stated.

Regarding the sources of the money, the committee disclosed that the payments included the over $2million Mrs. Abubakar received from Siemens AG of Germany. “In 2001 and 2002, for example, Ms. Douglas accepted wire transfers totalling nearly $2.2 million in suspect payments from Siemens AG,” the report stated.

The money is believed to be the former Vice President’s share of the $12.7million bribe payment that the German firm made to top government officials.

A Munich court in 2007 found Siemens guilty of paying bribes to top Nigerian government officials in order to obtain four telecommunications projects, and fined the company $248million.

The other government officials named at the Munich court in the famous bribery scandal include Bello Mohammed, Tajudeen Olanrewaju, Cornelius Adebayo and late Haruna Elewi, all former telecommunication ministers, and Jubril Aminu, a serving senator from Adamawa State.

Nobody has been prosecuted over the bribery scandal in Nigeria despite President Umaru Yar’Adua’s announcement that he had asked, “all relevant security agencies to thoroughly investigate the allegations and take appropriate legal actions against anybody implicated in corrupt practices.” The directive was issued over two years ago; during which period Siemens was initially banned from receiving contracts in Nigeria, only to be dramatically invited back to the country by the President.

‘A clueless money guzzling machine’

Born Jennifer Iwenjiora, Ms Douglas, who is the fourth wife of Mr. Abubakar, married him officially in July 2003, though their relationship dates back to the early 1980’s when she worked with the Nigerian Television Authority.

She is also known by different names: Jennifer Elizabeth Douglas, Jennifer Iwenjiora, Jamila Abubakar, and Jennifer Douglas-Abubakar in the dozens of bank accounts she opened in the United States to receive the “suspect” funds.

“Of the $40 million in suspect funds, $25 million was wire transferred by offshore corporations into more than 30 U.S. bank accounts opened by Ms. Douglas, primarily by Guernsey Trust Company Nigeria Ltd., LetsGo Ltd. Inc., and Sima Holding Ltd,” the report stated.

The report detailed the profile of a totally clueless Ms. Douglas, cast merely as a money guzzling machine which had no notion of the sources and the health of the money she so enthusiastically helped to launder into the United States financial system.

“When her banks asked about these corporations, Ms.

Douglas consistently told them that she was unfamiliar with the nature of the offshore corporations sending her money.”

When the banks became suspicious of her activities and decided to close her accounts, the former vice president’s wife simply closed the accounts and opened new ones in different banks, the committee found out. “Over time, as each financial institution began to ask questions about the offshore corporations sending her funds and decided to close her accounts, she opened new accounts at other financial institutions, at times with the assistance of her U.S. lawyer, Edward Weidenfeld.”

Funding the American University of Nigeria

The committee also established that the funds were used to finance the American University of Nigeria, Mr. Abubakar’s private university located in his home state of Adamawa.

“She also transferred funds to accounts she opened for the Gede Foundation, a non-profit corporation she established in 2002, and the American University of Nigeria (AUN), a university that Mr. Abubakar founded in 2003,” the report stated. Ms. Douglas is a member of the board of trustees of the University and has in a process “inconsistent with [Citibank] practice” used her personal account as the University’s account.

On April 4, 2005, Ms. Douglas opened Checking Account No. 1209739556, initially under her own name, but later, on an unspecified date, changed the account name to, “Jennifer Douglas/ABTI American University.” [ABTI American University was the previous name for American University of Nigeria (AUN).] Citibank told the subcommittee that when Ms. Douglas added the university to the account, it should have been re-categorised as a business account, and that it’s continued operation as a personal account was irregular. Seven months later however, Ms. Douglas entered a similar transaction. In her explanation, Ms. Douglas’ legal counsel told the Subcommittee that “Mr. Abubakar also tasked his wife with maintaining a U.S. bank account for convenience in paying certain expenses associated with AUN, including paying some employees of AUN who preferred to be paid in dollars,” and that her husband “arranged to have money deposited into the account, through which Mrs. Abubakar made payments out of the account to cover AUN expenses.”

The committee also said when it invited Mr. Abubakar, he refused to appear before it. However, Garba Shehu, Mr. Atiku’s media spokesman, responded late yesterday that his boss stayed away from the committee only because his lawyers said his presence was not necessary.

Mr. Shehu also commented on the senate report: “our view is that it contains allegations that have been recycled over the past few years by political opponents with the intention of damaging Abubakar’s reputation and truncating his political career.”

He however admitted that, “over the past eight years, the Abubakars have transferred some funds from their Blind Trust to pay for consulting services to the American University in Washington, DC, faculty and staff salaries of American University of Nigeria, Yola and for the upkeep of his family in the United States.” Rather than a money laundering device, Mr. Shehu characterised the Trust, set up in 1999 to manage Abubakar’s business interests, as “a bid to avoid any conflict of interest as a public officer.” He insisted that the funds transferred are, “legitimate earnings of Abubakar from his shares in INTELS, a well known oil services company co-founded by the former Vice President since the 1980s.”

Mr. Shehu also tried to distance his boss from the allegations of bribery levelled against Mr. Abubakar by Siemens officials saying they were, “confusing and out rightly untenable. The family strongly believes that they are victims of a smear campaign by managers of Siemens who may have stolen from their company under the excuse that they ran slush funds for political leaders in Nigeria” he said.

All read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrest warrants were issued against Atiku and his runaway wife, Jamila Jennifer Douglas-Atiku and the duo would be promptly arrested if they step on US soil”

In an interview with the Economic Confidential, an online publication, The former vice-president of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was quoted as saying: “if the United States was looking for me or my wife, about two or three weeks ago, we were at the United States embassy, here in Abuja, to renew the passports of my children who are American citizens, if I have a case to answer they would have arrested either of us.”

Does Atiku really believe the US Government could arrest him at their Embassy in Nigeria, a Sovereign Independent country and whisk him away? That would be abduction, a la Noriega style!

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was answering a question on the $180m said to have been received between 1996 and 2002 by Nigerian government officials as bribe through a subsidiary of Halliburton, an American company, to facilitate the award of $6bn LNG contracts.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar: (Vice President 1999-2007) is alleged to have received pay-offs in the enterprise. But in the interview, has said that he has no case to answer over the Halliburton bribery scandal.

In almost all the infamous international Bribery scandal that rocked the world between 2008 and 2010 that was prosecuted under the USA Foreign Corrupt Practices Act - Halliburton, Jefferson, Daimler, Willbros and Siemens etc, - Nigeria will be mentioned and the name of one man featured consistently and prominently: Alhaji Atiku Abubakar!

The name of Atiku Abubakar surfaced as one of the alleged beneficiaries of the $6 million bribe distributed by American oil service company, Wilbros Group to secure contracts for the eastern gas gathering system (EGGS) in Nigeria.

On February 5, 2010, Politico says A two-year Senate investigation into foreign corruption has shed new light on two key players in one of Washington’s most infamous scandals of recent years — Atiku Abubakar and his wife, Jennifer Douglas Abubakar.

In the William Jefferson scandal, the $100,000 that was discovered in a Freezer was to be the first instalment of a bribe to be paid to Atiku Abubakar, then vice president of Nigeria, for his help in gaining approval from the Nigerian telecommunications authority for the deal Mody was financing and of which Jefferson's family was getting an increasingly bigger cut.

Lori Mody, a wealthy businesswoman gave the money to Former Rep. William Jefferson in a parking lot in July 2005, a transaction secretly videotaped by the FBI. When federal agents raided Jefferson’s home in Virginia two days later, they found $90,000 in his freezer.




An undercover FBI special agent had driven Jefferson and Mody to Douglas' home in Potomac, Md., to meet with Abubakar just weeks before Mody gave Jefferson the money, according to legal documents filed by prosecutors. Abubakar was reportedly seeking as much $500,000 to help a company that Jefferson had a secret stake in win a lucrative Nigerian telecom contract.

A federal investigation of Jefferson’s activities revealed a wide-ranging corruption scheme, and following a lengthy legal fight, the Louisiana Democrat was convicted and sentenced to 13 years in prison, the harshest punishment ever handed out to an ex-lawmaker. Neither Douglas nor Abubakar was charged with any wrongdoing.

However, the Senate investigation alleges that Douglas and Abubakar brought “over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States” from 2000 to 2008 — a prime example, according to investigators, of the ease with which so-called politically exposed persons, foreign officials and their family members, friends and business associates, can move money into U.S. financial institutions without explaining where the money came from.

The investigation also “substantiated” a $2 million-plus transfer from Siemens AG, a German electronics company, into a bank account controlled by Atiku Abubakar and his wife, Jennifer Douglas Abubakar.

Siemens pleaded guilty in Dec. 2008 to violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and paid $1.6 billion in civil and criminal penalties.

Jefferson’s lawyers unsuccessfully sought to depose Abubakar and Douglas, as well another Nigerian businessman, as witnesses for the Louisiana Democrat’s trial, but Atiku and his wife refused to return to the United States to be deposed or testify in the case.

With tens of millions of dollars from shadowy offshore companies at her disposal, Douglas — Abubakar’s fourth wife — lived a lavish lifestyle in the U.S., according to the report. Her personal expenses sometimes ran to as high as $90,000 per month.

Douglas also spent $14 million on the American University of Nigeria, a Western-style university Abubakar set up in northern Nigeria. The school was affiliated with American University in Washington, where Douglas, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Nigeria, received a doctorate in international relations.

The source of Abubakar’s fortune is unclear. He spent roughly 20 years as a Nigerian customs official, starting businesses on the side while still working for the government. He left the Nigerian customs office in 1989 and went into business. Abubakar told the BBC in 2007 that he had gotten wealthy “through wise investments, hard work and sheer luck of being at the right place at the right time.”

In 1999, Abubakar was elected vice president of Nigeria, a post he held for the next eight years. Abubakar created a blind trust to control his investments. Through a complicated series of moves, the blind trust was taken over by a shell company, which in 2003 started sending millions of dollars to U.S. banks for use by Douglas and an American attorney hired by the couple, Edward Weidenfield.

Atiku and his wife, Jennifer Douglas, did not accept summons and subpoenas to appear before the US court. Instead, they moved their family out to Dubai, and put their Potomac mansion up for sale.

Arrest warrants were issued against Atiku and his runaway wife, Jamila Jennifer Douglas-Atiku and the duo would be promptly arrested if they step on US soil.

In an interview the Economic Confidential, an online publication, Atiku said he had not received any invitation from authorities in the United States over his purported involvement in the said scandal.

“If anybody has a case let them bring the case. Nobody has even interviewed me (on the bribery scandal). There are no evidences against me. This is just the work of political opponents who will stop at nothing in order to destroy your political career,” the former V.P said.

He was then asked if the Halliburton scandal influenced his preference for travelling to Dubai, instead of the US where he has a home, Atiku told the Economic Confidential that “The United States is not Nigeria. They will call you wherever you may be.

”My wife is a citizen of the United States of America. I was going to the United States because my family was there; my wife took up a job in Dubai as an assistant professor at the American University in Dubai. So we moved.

”I therefore visit my family in Dubai. And if the United States was looking for me or my wife, about two or three weeks ago, we were at the United States embassy, here in Abuja, to renew the passports of my children who are American citizens, if I have a case to answer they would have arrested either of us.”
