An investigation by The Quest Times has revealed how the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), Hamman Tukur Modibbo, allegedly covered up an indicting report showing the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar's involvement in alleged money laundering activities.
It was reported that new documents obtained during the investigation showed that Modibbo purportedly suppressed an internal report that reportedly provided evidence linking Atiku - a former Vice President of Nigeria, to illicit financial activities.
The FIAU investigation showed that Mr. Volpi owns 67.74% of Orleans Invest Holding Ltd, while Atiku owns 17.2% and The Versailles Trust owns the remaining 15%. Mr Volpi, according to FIAU’s investigations is “the second shareholder of the Italian bank Banca Carige and the partner of companies named Eataly and Moncier.”
However, Modibbo has been accused of breach of trust as he took no action on the SIR where Atiku was indicted, for an unknown reason. “Imagine him querying legacy staff at NFIU because they sent request letters in their line of duty when he was equally guilty of sending query letters without the input of the Director of Services or HR?” the former NFIU worker asked angrily.
