Governor of Kebbi State,\u00a0 Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of the APC, is wanted in\u00a0the United States of America, over his involvement in the looting of over\u00a0$600million during the reign of late General Sani Abacha,\u00a0pointblanknews.com<\/a> investigation has revealed.<\/p>\n

Bagudu, according to documents obtained by pointblanknews.com<\/a> from the U.S\u00a0Department of Justice, masterminded the stealing of millions of U.S\u00a0Dollars from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, wired same to several\u00a0foreign accounts through phony companies he set up for himself and the\u00a0Abacha family.<\/p>\n

U.S government sources told pointblanknews.com<\/a> that the U.S had under the\u00a0Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiatives, mentioned Bagudu\u2019s involvement in\u00a0Abacha\u2019s money laundering scandal to President Buhari, and sought for his\u00a0support to bring the Kebbi Governor to justice.<\/p>\n

This is even as Bagudu and his family are currently fighting civil\u00a0forfeiture claims to an additional approximately $148 million, part of the\u00a0money he stole, kept in four investment portfolios in the United Kingdom,\u00a0a U.S Department of Justice confirmed to Pointblanknews.com.<\/p>\n

Documents shows that Between January 1994 and June 1998, General Sani\u00a0Abacha, National Security Advisor Gwarzo, and Governor Bagudu and Mohammed\u00a0Abacha stole more than $2 billion from Nigeria by fraudulently and falsely\u00a0representing that the funds were to be used for national security
\npurposes.<\/p>\n

The United States had in 2014 taken control of more than $480 million out\u00a0of the over $600million looted by former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha,\u00a0Bagudu, Mohammed Abacha and others after a court ruling, the U.S JusticeDepartment said.<\/p>\n

However, litigations on the $148million is pending because Bagudu has\u00a0refused to cooperate with investigators and overtures said to have been\u00a0made to President Mohammadu Buhari on the matter during his U.S visit has\u00a0not yielded any fruit, a USDOJ official informed pointblanknews.com<\/a> on
\ncondition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

An email from Peter Carr of the U.S Department of Justice, USDOJ, to\u00a0pointblanknews.com<\/a> confirmed Bagudu\u2019s lack of cooperation on the crimes he\u00a0committed against Nigeria and the United States and his fight to stop the\u00a0forfeiture of $148million held in different portfolios in United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Carr in the email to Pointblanknews.com said: \u201cAs you are probably aware,\u00a0the Justice Department brought a civil forfeiture action against more than\u00a0$600 million traced to corruption in Nigeria during the regime of Sani\u00a0Abacha.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbubakar Bagudu, who is not cooperating with our investigation, is named\u00a0in the complaint, which also lays out the government’s position on his\u00a0role. His relatives are contesting the forfeiture of over $100 million of\u00a0the total the Justice Department is seeking to forfeit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are yet to get any cooperation over Abubakar Bagudu from the Nigerian\u00a0Government,\u201d a Justice Department source told Pointblanknews.com<\/p>\n

The Kebbi Governor set up phony companies such as Doraville Properties\u00a0Corporation (Doraville)\u00a0 in the British Virgin Islands on July 2, 1997 and\u00a0was a director and authorized signatory on its bank accounts at Deutsche\u00a0Bank AG and at Deutsche Bank International Limited (Jersey) (DBIL), Eagle
\nAlliance International Limited (Eagle Alliance) incorporated in Ireland\u00a0on August 9, 1994, was an authorized signatory on its accounts at\u00a0Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Grindlays Plc, in London, England, and at\u00a0Goldman Sachs & Co. in Zurich.<\/p>\n

Bagudu also set up Harbour Engineering and Construction Limited (Harbour\u00a0Engineering) in the British Virgin Islands and was an authorized signatory\u00a0on its account at Banque SBA in Paris, Mecosta Securities, Inc. (Mecosta)\u00a0in the British Virgin Islands on October 9, 1995 and was an authorized
\nsignatory on accounts in the name of Mecosta at ANZ (London); Standard\u00a0Bank in London, England (Standard Bank); Credit Agricole Indosuez in\u00a0London, England; Goldman Sachs in Zurich, Switzerland; and Banque Baring\u00a0Brothers in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

The APC Kebbi Governor also incorporated Morgan Procurement Corporation\u00a0(Morgan Procurement) in the British Virgin Islands on January 24, 1995.\u00a0Bagudu was an authorized signatory on its four accounts at the Union Bank\u00a0of Nigeria Plc in London, England, Rayville International, S.A. (Rayville)
\nin the British Virgin Islands and was also an authorized signatory on its\u00a0account, number 223405880IUSD, at Banque SBA in Paris.<\/p>\n

Also for the purposes of stealing funds, Bagudu set up The Ridley Trust\u00a0registered in Guernsey, Channel Islands, on September 22, 1997. The Ridley\u00a0Trust is the sole shareholder of the Ridley Group and he was the Ridley\u00a0Trust\u2019s prime beneficiary, Ridley Group Limited (Ridley Group) was also\u00a0incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on June 10, 1997.<\/p>\n

He also set up Standard Alliance Financial Services Limited (Standard\u00a0Alliance) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Bagudu was an\u00a0authorized account signatory for account number 223406510PUSD in the name\u00a0of Standard Alliance at Banque SBA.<\/p>\n

According to the U.S documents, Bagudu, an associate of General Abacha and\u00a0his sons participated in the conspiracy to steal and launder hundreds of\u00a0millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

Among other things, Bagudu played an instrumental role in setting up and\u00a0executing the complicated financial transactions used to launder the\u00a0proceeds of the conspiracy. He is also a signatory and\/or corporate\u00a0representative designated on many of the Abacha\u2019s assets<\/p>\n

According to the documents, General Abacha and Gwarzo executed false\u00a0national security letters directing the withdrawal of funds from the CBN,\u00a0referred to as \u201csecurity votes\u201d letters after a practice by which Nigerian\u00a0governors received a budgetary allocation for security purposes. Rather\u00a0than use the funds for national security purposes, the stolen money was\u00a0transported out of Nigeria and deposited into accounts controlled by\u00a0General Abacha\u2019s associates, including Mohammed Abacha and Bagudu.<\/p>\n

Over sixty false security votes letters were addressed to and endorsed by\u00a0General Abacha, each of which resulted in the withdrawal of Nigeria\u2019s\u00a0public funds from the CBN.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the funds were deposited into accounts controlled by, or\u00a0used to purchase assets for the benefit of, General Abacha, Bagudu, or\u00a0other members of the conspiracy.<\/p>\n

Some of the false letters used for the fraud dated June 2, 1994, by Gwarzo\u00a0stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn view of the on-going negative campaign against this country, a small\u00a0international operation has been mounted to cover it\u2026please approve as a\u00a0matter of urgency, the sum of Five Million Dollars\u2026for this operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

By letter, dated November 30, 1994, Gwarzo falsely stated:\u00a0\u201c[$100 million dollars are requested] to combat an economy that was\u00a0deflected and distorted through the black market.\u201d<\/p>\n

By letter, dated August 20, 1996, Gwarzo falsely stated:\u00a0\u201cIn light of the current political situation in the country, coupled with\u00a0the increase in security operations\u2026. there is need for a lot of funds to\u00a0handle the challenges outlined above such that I require Three hundred and\u00a0fifty million Naira [N350,000,000.00] plus Thirty million dollars\u00a0[$30,000,000] and Fifteen million Pounds [\u00a315,000,000.00] \u2026Please consider\u00a0desperate need and approve.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to move the money overseas, Bagudu deposited the cash proceeds of\u00a0the Security Votes Fraud into at least one of two Nigerian commercial\u00a0banks, Union Bank of Nigeria and\/or Inland Bank of Nigeria. Bagudu\u00a0referred to the money deposited into Union Bank and Inland Bank as his
\n\u201ccash swaps.\u201d Bagudu and\/or Mohammed Abacha then instructed Union Bank or\u00a0Inland Bank to transfer the stolen funds to other accounts under Bagudu or\u00a0Mohammed Abacha\u2019s\u00a0 control, such as accounts in the name of Mecosta,\u00a0Rayville, and Eagle Alliance.<\/p>\n

Inland Bank or Union Bank made the necessary arrangements to transfer the\u00a0money overseas.<\/p>\n

The funds were transferred from Union Bank or Inland Bank back to the CBN,\u00a0to an account held by Union Bank or Inland Bank at the CBN. The CBN then\u00a0transferred the funds from the account of Union Bank or Inland Bank to\u00a0their respective overseas domiciliary accounts held at banks in either
\nLondon or New York.<\/p>\n

Through these \u201ccash swaps,\u201d at least $137 million was transported into and\u00a0out of the United States, and into accounts held in the name of the Bagudu\u00a0and his collaborators.<\/p>\n

For example, the documents said:<\/p>\n

(a)Between July 1995 and April 1996, $18.3 million was deposited into\u00a0accounts in Nigeria at Union Bank and Inland Bank controlled by Mohammed\u00a0Abacha and Bagudu. These funds were subsequently wire transferred into and\u00a0out of correspondent accounts at financial institutions in the United
\nStates for deposit into accounts held in the names of Eagle Alliance or\u00a0Mecosta at ANZ (London).<\/p>\n

The transfer of these funds was accomplished through transactions\u00a0including, but not limited to, the following:<\/p>\n

(i) On or about October 10, 1995, Bagudu caused the wire transfer of\u00a0$5 million from an account at Union Bank of Nigeria into and out of a\u00a0correspondent account at Barclays Bank Plc., New York, into a
\ncorrespondent account at ANZ (New York), for credit to the Eagle Alliance\u00a0account at ANZ (London).<\/p>\n

ii) On or about November 5, 1995, Bagudu caused the wire transfer of\u00a0$6 million from a domiciliary account of Union Bank of Nigeria into and\u00a0out of a correspondent account at Barclays Bank Plc., New York, and then\u00a0into and out of a correspondent account at ANZ (New York), for credit to\u00a0the Eagle Alliance account at ANZ (London). This $6 million was credited\u00a0to the Eagle Alliance account on or about November 13, 1995.
\n(iii) On or about January 3, 1996, Bagudu caused the wire transfer of\u00a0approximately $320,000 from Inland Bank of Nigeria into and out of a\u00a0correspondent account at Morgan Guaranty Trust Bank, New York, and then\u00a0into and out of a correspondent account at ANZ (New York), for credit to
\nthe Eagle Alliance account at ANZ (London).
\n(b) Between August 1995 and November 1995, at least $7.2 million in\u00a0proceeds from the Security Votes Fraud was deposited into the Eagle \u00a0Alliance account at ANZ (London) by or on behalf of Alhaji Ahmadu Daura,\u00a0an associate of Mohammed Abacha. These funds included monies withdrawn\u00a0from the CBN in the form of cash and traveler\u2019s checks. The monies were\u00a0first deposited into accounts controlled by Daura at London Trust Bank in\u00a0Nigeria and then wired to the Eagle Alliance account at ANZ (London).
\n(c) In 1997, an additional $20 million in proceeds from the Security Votes\u00a0Fraud were wire transferred from the Inland Bank of Nigeria Plc\u2019s\u00a0domiciliary account at Commerzbank AG in London, into and out of\u00a0correspondent bank Credit Lyonnais, New York, for deposit into account\u00a0number 223405880IUSD held in the name of Rayville at Banque SBA in Paris.
\n(d) On or about July 17, 1997, another $10 million in proceeds from the\u00a0Security Votes Fraud were wire transferred from the Inland Bank of Nigeria\u00a0Plc\u2019s domiciliary account at Commerzbank AG in London into and out of\u00a0correspondent bank Credit Lyonnais,<\/p>\n

When Pointblanknews.com contacted the Governor\u2019s Spokesman, Abubakar\u00a0Dankingari, he referred the issues to the Chief of staff to the Governor,\u00a0Sulaiman Argungun.<\/p>\n

Argungu told Pointblanknews.com that the Governor should be sent a letter\u00a0from the U.S. He Said he would not respond to the issues because they are\u00a0personal to the Governor and that he also won\u2019t talk to journalists he has\u00a0never met or seen. He asked that the U.S do write a letter to the Governor\u00a0if they indeed have anything against him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
