Fresh Leaks Expose Secret Posh Properties Owned By Atiku, Ekweremadu, Orji Kalu, Other Nigerians In Dubai

Some prominent Nigerians including former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, former House of Representatives member who represented Musawa/Matazu district in Katsina State, Abubakar Garba Shehu have appeared in a fresh report leaking property records previously kept secret in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Other Nigerian names in the report are former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu; former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Sabitun Ikuforiji; former owner of DAMAC Maison Dubai Mall Street, Cromwell Osamwonyi Idahosa and Lawal Hassan Gummi.

The report also listed many names from other countries around the globe, including some who had been sanctioned by the United States of America.

This report provides a database of alleged money launderers, drug lords, political figures accused of corruption, businessmen sanctioned for financing terrorism and other criminals who own expensive and erstwhile secret assets in the middle-eastern country.

The leaked records, which date largely from 2022 and 2020, were initially obtained by the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit that researches international crime and conflict. The data was then shared with the Norwegian financial outlet E24 and OCCRP, who coordinated an investigative project with more than 70 media outlets around the globe, the report indicated.

Only those individuals whose identities could be verified and who are considered in the public interest — either because of their alleged criminal pasts or political prominence — were included in the project.

The new data builds on earlier leaks of Dubai property records from 2016 and 2020, providing a more up-to-date look at who owns what across the city’s skyscrapers and opulent villa communities. From alleged Australian cocaine traffickers to the relatives of African dictators and a coterie of sanctioned Hezbollah financiers, the findings reveal how the city has opened its arms to disreputable characters from around the globe.

Take, for example, Atiku Abubakar and Family are the current owner of Rawda Apartments 1- $453,800; current owner of Rawda Apartments 1 - $432,500; current owner of Jumeirah Living World Trade Centre Residence - $518,800; current owner of Jumeirah Living World Trade Centre Residence -$518,800; current owner of Park Ridge Tower C - $570,100; current owner of The One at Jumeirah Village Circle - $372,000; current owner of Grand Heights Hotel Apartments - $322,300; and the current owner of Jumeirah Living World Trade Centre Residence - $1,291,500

So what happened and what should we do ?

Is it a crime to own property?

Is this OP smart at all?? Everybody knows you're Tinubu supporter whom we all know is most likely the wealthiest politician alive today. So why throw stones at other thieves when you know they will easily point at your man-Friday??

what of the ones your drug Lord and his family owe

dinbat

Legendhero...

Your Propaganda thread against Atiku and co can't fly because people have now understood how useless you APC paid hacks are.

Everybody knows that TINUBU forfeited $400+ thousand to the USA Government as drug proceeds. The question is , why haven't you in anyway mentioned that ?

Na 2027 Propaganda be this abi? Una must cry Blood.

Everybody knows that as this thread has been hijacked by anti-APC monikers it won't make Frontpage.

But if it does,

Legendhero is a worthless APC and Tilumbu supporter, who wants to demarket everybody, but supports a drug guzzling dinosaur called TINUBU.

kingsways:
Is it a crime to own property?

but will u say this if it involves tinubu?

See the game wey these people wan play 😂😂😂

Prince111111:
See the game wey these people wan play 😂😂😂

Very fuulish people

Owning properties and investments is a human right.

Reality3080:
but will u say this if it involves tinubu?

Both Pandora and Pamama papers involved Tinubu and how did it affect Tinubu?

Atiku is a hardened criminal. Where did he see money to buy $4m worth of properties?

And this is only in Duba, if they count houses he have around the world, it would be up to $4b.

Atiku and kleptocracy are like 5 & 6.

All of them put together nor reach wetin small Seyi Thinubu get for outside.

The list is incomplete without Tinubu and family.
This shows Nigerian corrupt politicians know no religion and ethnicity. Na we ordinary Nigerians be victims of circumstances

So you mean Tinubu doesn't own any property in Dubai??

Wonderful idiots!

Nigerians, don't fall for this Lagos-Ibadan expressway propaganda.

Tinubu must make the minimum wage to be N150,000 vs the preposterous N48,000 being proposed.

Tilumbu must show workings else getting to 2027 is not guaranteed! Impeachment or sacking still exist!

Ode no start weytin u no fit finish

So?

Atiku has never made any pretences about being a puritanical politician.

The other one pretends to be so clean that it is disturbing.

Okay

E-BOLA Tinubu Amoda is a Criminal

Uhmm

No wonder $-Naira dey fluctuate!

If all these dey 9Ja 9ra go stable!

Ok

The structure of criminality.

According to Reno:

If you are perceptive, you will notice that Peter Obi never posted photos or talked about his visit to prominent PDP stalwarts, like Waziri Atiku Abubakar, Sule Lamido and Bukola Saraki. The images and details of the meetings were released by others.

And even after the cat was let out of the bag, Peter still did not post or talk about it. It was the Labour Party that did. Fact-check me.

This is a man that releases pictures and captions of every visit he makes. Suddenly he developed cold feet. Why?

What does that tell you? He went for these meetings at night, like Nicodemus, hoping to keep them secret. He was trying to keep these meetings low profile because he knows how hypocritical they make him. This is a party of which he said on Thursday, January 12, 2023, as follows, "What they have is structure of criminality."

And now, he is attempting to integrate with the same party with a 'structure of criminality', and he is ashamed to own up to it. 

The truth is that long after Peter Obi realises what he and his Obidients have done to his tattered political career, the Peoples Democratic Party will continue to exist. 

We have a record of building the most schools in Nigeria, and we will not be lectured by a man who spent eight years in office as Governor without constructing a single school. Our HERO builds schools. We do not have a ZERO who prefers to build beer breweries.
