A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Festus Keyamo, who is the spokesperson for the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress standard bearer, Bola Tinubu, has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, and the Code of Conduct Bureau to arrest the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, over corruption allegations within the next 72 hours.
In a document obtained by our correspondent, Keyamo asked the chairmen of the anti-graft agencies to arrest or invite Atiku for questioning over alleged offences bordering on money laundering, criminal breach of trust and criminal misappropriation, conspiracy, and other offences against the code of conduct for public officials.
He also vowed to get a court injunction compelling the agencies to arrest or invite the former vice president for questioning, if they failed to act on the petition. Noting that he was writing as a lawyer, a citizen, and as a former private prosecutor for the EFCC, Kenyamo said Nigerians had been worried over the recent revelations by a whistleblower and ex-aide to Atiku, Michael Achimugu, alleging that the former VP laundered money through some companies regarded as ‘Special Purpose Vehicles’, using trusted allies as shareholders and directors.
Keyamo said, “For about a week now, Nigerians have been in shock over the public revelations of a whistleblower, Mr.
“Those SPVs were companies which Atiku admittedly registered upon assumption of office as the VP using “trusted allies” as shareholders and directors.
