As a Nigerian Customs Service officer, Atiku left behind an unenviable record, one he wishes will go away, but rather has followed him and haunted him. He is said to worth over $2 billion with most of the money hidden away in the Cayman Island, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates where Jennifer-Jemila is now located after it became difficult to open new bank accounts following her designation as Politically Exposed Person (PEP). Atiku himself was also placed by the United States government on the list of Specially Designated Nationals (The OFAC SDN), a list made up of corrupt politicians, terrorist financiers, mafia lords and similar miscreants around the world.

The United States got tough and rough and blocked the wires through which stolen monies are sent into American banks by Atiku Abubakar. Jennifer-Jemila Abubakar opened more than thirty different banks accounts with several American banks and used them primarily to receive wired funds from suspicious sources and dubious partners. She received over $10 million from Guernsey Trust Company between 2003 and 2008. About $27 million was also wired into the United States for Atiku Abubakar by a business partner of his, Mr. Gabriele Volpi. Of this amount nearly $8 million was wired through Jennifer-Jemila's account, $5.5 million into the American University of Nigeria (AUN) account (Atiku's private university in his home town) and $13.1 million into the American University in Washington's accounts. It Mr. Volpi told the U.S. Subcommittee that LetsGo and Sima Holdings sent millions of dollars to Ms. Douglas in connection with Mr. Abubakar's ownership interest in Intels and a line of credit that LetsGo had extended to the Abubakar Blind Trust.

The sources of Atiku Abubakar's funds are dubious and crooked. His hands are far from clean and he has absolutely nothing to offer the Nigerian people beside taking another shot at the national treasury and looting it. If the business Atiku was invited to join in 1989 by Mr. Volpi, Nigeria Container Services Inc. (NICOTES) is making so much money there is no evidence to back up that claim. NICOTES is said to be an oil logistics company and there is little or no evidence that the company is making or previously made so much money from any decent work. Beside the fact that Atiku Abubakar is corrupt and unworthy as a politician, he has very little education and is therefore poorly equipped to even lead a local government. But Atiku is not alone in this regard; majority of the half-baked politicians who are pretending to be leaders of the Nigerian people are also poorly educated and largely ignorant. It is not just corruption that is at the heart of the Nigerian problem and poor leadership, poor education or the lack of it has also been a major factor. The only reasonable education Atiku earned was a diploma in law from Ahmadu Bello University! He rose to the rank of Deputy Director of Customs largely on the back of his Northern heritage and background.

Over a period of eight years Jennifer-Jemila Atiku-Abubakar opened various accounts at different banks in Maryland for the purpose of receiving and helping to launder funds. The accounts opened included several personal accounts at Citibank, Chevy Chase Bank, Wachovia Bank, Eagle Bank, and Suntrust Bank, credit card accounts, brokerage accounts (with Citibanks's Smith Barney affiliate), home equity account, Gede Foundation accounts, AUN (ABTI American University in Nigeria) account, and safe deposit boxes. She was obsessed with opening bank accounts and loved the benefits that accrue to her. The three (3) Siemens wire transfers were paid into Jennifer E. Douglas' account #52096374 on 4/12/2001 ($450,703.79), 10/01/2001 ($461,440.92) and on 1/28/2002 ($860,500), for a total of $1,772,644.71. Additional $2 million kickback payments were also confirmed to have been made to Atiku Abubakar through his wife over a three year period from 2000 to 2003. She received these additional funds through J.E. Douglas Steradian Co. UK L, J.E. Douglas and Peniel Inc. UK Ltd. Wire transfers to Douglas's account #52096374 at Citibank from LetsGo accounts at Wegelin & Co and Banca Del Gottardo between 2003 and 2006 came to a total of $7,424,620. From Guernsey Trust Company account at Wegelin & Co was a total of $3,049,940 between 2006 and 2007. Additional wire transfers from LetsGo Ltd to another Douglas account #1209739556 between 2005 and 2007 came to $5,550,000. The wire transfers were endless and kept flowing for years while Atiku Abubakar was Vice President of Nigeria. The receiver meanwhile remained jobless and a student! She was the receiver of treasures and stolen funds, but the banks caught up with her and Atiku one by one, and one by one the banks closed the accounts. She was the robust pipe and willing tool, a messenger sent to the United States of America primarily to open accounts, receive funds, reroute funds, transfer funds and recycle funds for various personal and family needs of her husband. She was and is still well taken of; her home a $2 million house in the choice area of Potomac, Washington, D.C., It was clear the main purpose of the over thirty (30) accounts the Atiku-Abubakars opened was to receive fraudulent payments and to launder suspect funds.

It was Atiku Abubakar that disgraced U.S. Congressman Bill Jefferson said he needed to give $500,000 as bribe to "motivate" him for an internet technology business in Nigeria for an American firm, iGate Inc. Atiku was found by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to have used his influence at the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) to disburse money from the Fund to promote business ventures for himself and his friends, and engaged in fraudulent conversion of funds, corrupt practices, and money laundering. The Nigerian Senate ad hoc Committee recommended that Atiku Abubakar be sanctioned because he "abused his office by aiding and abetting the diversion of funds in the sum of $145 million" as loans to his friends.

In this day and age, you do expect some semblance of credibility from any one who hope or plan to lead a nation like Nigeria. Atiku Abubakar lacks any credibility. He is neither responsible enough nor reliable enough to lead the Nigerian people. Integrity is one major requirement and condition of leadership and for his failure and dearth of integrity Atiku Abubakar is not fit to lead Nigeria. We disqualify him and find him unsuitable. It is our opinion that Atiku Abubakar should head in the opposite direction from Aso Rock for the purpose of paying for his crimes relating to corruption, money laundering and abuse of office.

Na wah this allegations are too serious to be ignored,I have always doubted the credibility of Atiku given the wealth he ahs amassed over time in public office, I wonder why the anti graft are allowing to be this free, he recent moves suggest that he gunning for the number office.But the goodnews is that Nigerians are wise politicians like him will make a lot of noise but at the end of the day only the right leader will be chosen...Our fingers are still cross oh

;DThis is the most insightful article I've read in recent time. This has shaped my opinion
Atiku is a confirmed rogue. He was practically d president during Obj's first term when baba was busy residing abroad. Within that short period of time, he sold virtually all govt assets to himself. We can never forget Elrufai's exposition on him. They are part of our power, and communication wahala. NITEL gone, power practically dead except for GEJ'S commitment to repositioning the sector.

Just few days ago, his group gave GEJ some conditions for peace to reign and guess what: that GEJ should stop EFCC from probing corrupt politicians especially thise that are his men and that he should renounce his ambition. This is a man that wants to become president. Today, he Isn't president and he is defending corruption, if he become president what will happen to our money? Now I dread him

una wan kill dis guy.....? but come to think of it, is he nurturing any ambition in 2015....?
if not so then this is pure idleness.

Atiku!

Your piece is so revealing, I am just concern with the above ^^

The most clueless president we have in Nigeria today is a PhD holder so what are you saying?

Dis will surely be the work of jonathan's supporter. We do not know for sure yet if atiku will contest in 2015 or not. So jst calm down and stop denting his image further

Nigerians are aware. we simply prefer to live in Denial

All these Atiku antics and that of his cohorts are geared towards realising his selfish and inordinate ambition of becoming the the president elect in 2015 general elections.....of a truth this is not the type of leader we want in nigeria...no...no...no...not again.

A man with a diploma in law rose to such a height in the Nigerian custom service because of his northern backers,he stole Billions of public funds without prosecution like Ibb.Abacha and Abubakar.and he is still walking free in the country,he even want to contest for Aso Rock in 2015,what an insult..Adamawa state where he hail from is one of the poorest state in the country,his impact has not been felt even in his ward,

I used to like this Atiku guy very well, that's d days of 3rd term agenda for 'Mr.Oldman wearing agbada and causing troubles', but wit time I grew older and got to know him as Atiku! The goodnews about Atiku is that more than half of Nigerians know him for the thief he is and any attempt to seek the presidency of our great country will be crushed right in his dreamland.

Make all of Una shut up!! Na only when rain dey fall for una backyard una dey remember say rain water good. If na una neighbor backyard rain dey fall, na God dey punish them.

Una never start. Both Atiku and GEJ will be consumed. if GEJ want play dirty with Atiku while accusing Obasanjo, he has just united his two greatest nightmares in PDP.


Who are those handling Jonathan? Seriously those handlers lack any form of thoughts sophistication.

Shiioor!!!!!!

And you think that heaven will fall if GEJ doesn't clinch the presidency come 2015? No such thing bro except that a Nigerian sitting president is like a lion with a spoil equally wanted by a group of dogs-Opposition and thieving aspirants like Atiku. The lion must've ceased to be a lion before the spoil finds it's way to the dogs.

Atiku Abubakar, the man who is trying to factionalize PDP so he can loot Nigeria's Treasury. One can predict the reason they are fighting GEJ tooth and nail. They have trillions of naira of stolen funds to own countries by themselves.

Rotimi Amaechi wants to have friends in Aso Rock in 2015 when his tenure is expired so he can not go to prison for the massive loot of treasury he is using Jerry Rawlings of Ghana to launder Rivers Treasury. This a proven fact and Amaechi's loot is whats powering the Ghana's Economy.

All the other Governors fighting GEJ are on their second tenure and they want to put their thieving colleague in power to cover them against EFCC probe and imprisonment.

The fact that we are on internet offers us privilege as online assembly to shame the devils in power and use our anonymity to expose corruption as we see it.

It is time we move from just tribal sentiments and call a spade a spade. Fashola's Lagos owes almost 200 million naira and we do not know what Fashola is doing with almost [30 billion (F-Allo) + 25 billion (IGR) ] x 12 x 6 = 3,960,000,000,000 (3T 960B) and is still owing 200Billion. All that together then we are talking about 4 trillion Naira (appr).

Can these guys really sleep knowing how much they have in different numbered accounts all over the world ? They single-handled inflate the price per plot of Banana Island to average of a billion naira per plot cos they lack knowledge on what to do with cash and build themselve an Eko Atlantic City.

My Kingdom Come

How on earth would the OP willfully omit the renowned fact that Atiku is the life president of Association of Nigerian sodomizers? I suspect the moderators!

Its funny how s*hit like dis are known and documented to the teeth yet the man still walks freely and even take over government n it only comes up when they need the public. So you telling Nigerians these so what happens? If all these are true den he shuld be behind bars but if its some sort of silly skim to get d public all rowdy cos some bunch of thieves can't agree on who gets d bigger share then una don fail cos Nigerians will turn there backs on uz all like all of u have done.

this guys never fail to amaze me...so now it is Atiku'turn for bashing....lemme sit back with my pop corn and watch this film.
No longer Fashola,Tinubu,Buhari,Ameachi now it Atiku,where you guys sleeping before he pulled the rug on you?all the stories you guy posted up their are well know to Nigerian,do us a Favor tell Gej to send EFCC after him to prosecute him or spare us the story.

Yes if the devil can have fellowers who is Atiku?

Atiku is a thief....yes ooo..bt wait a minute, why cant our system probe dem all.... d answer is they ar all d same.

Ghen-ghen, before were you guyz sleeping? I hope this is just tasting o.

It's obvious why he said that EFCC should not be asked to arrest him and the other governors in his group,as a condition for reconciliation in PDP. He is afraid.

As if most of dis tins is not in d public domain, y cant d govt of d day go after him, guess they r birds of same feather, let he without sin among d politicians n public office holders cast d first stone. Nigeria can stil b prevented from goin totally 2 d dogs in 2015 by leavin tribal n religious sentiments @ home wen goin 2 vote. It is neva 2 late 2 right d wrongs. To me both d govt and d oppositn ared same so let's try n shop 4 credible candidate n encourage dem 2 com out.

Wierd as it may sound, is it not demonic enough and ludicrous that some Southerners are still part of Atiku's team to truncate this Jonathan's administration at all cost Atiku is just one of many 'Funky Mallams' milking Nigeria!

e no concern me all wetin i no be say GEJ is a"clueless" leader

These gossips about Atiku are not new at all. They have their way of popping up whenever some politicians get jittery about him (Atiku) truncating or derailing their seemingly smooth plan to retain their undeserved hold on to power. This is clearly an attempted ‘hatchet job’ that has failed on arrival. First of all, nobody can commit all the alleged crimes since early 2000s both internationally and locally, yet still walking free thirteen years later, receiving over five international awards and delivering lectures in world class institutions worldwide. It is not a secret that Atiku’s Intels has been making millions of dollars in legitimate income way before he became VP. Googling Intels Nigeria Limited will reveal that just this out of several owned by him is worth billions and the business has been in good standing since early 1980s; way before he became VP. Haters and beefers need to focus on his rare courage to lead the struggle to defend our constitution and save our nascent democracy as evident in the famous third-term plot and now saving PDP from a dangerously deepening culture of bastardization of democracy as the world knows it especially with impunity. To any unbiased observer, the man is a blessing to our nascent democracy and definitely worth taking another at.

IF ALL THIS ARE TRUE WHY IS ATIKU STILL NOT BEEN TRIED BY THE GOV'T OR EFCC,TO ME THIS IS JUST A VERY CHEAP BLACKMAIL TO RUBBISH HIS POLITICAL CAREER WHICH I KNOW WILL NOT WORK.

atiku, Gej, obasanjo, tinubu, namadi, all governors, head of every govt agency, ministers, GEJs wife and family members like family members of all/most of thos mentioned above and sooooooo many others are thieves, nothing new here so why are some bloody hypocrites pretending to be shocked?

all i know is the way this GEJ of a guy does his politics as well as running the govt is simply disgusting, why is it that him and his only come out with this useless expose when heat is on him, as far as i am concerned none of the past leaders is a bigger criminal that the current and may god punish them all, him most of all
