Atiku Abubakar, a former Nigerian Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has appeared alongside a handful of other Nigerians in a new leak of property records previously kept secret.

The Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) published the “Dubai Unlocked” investigative report on Tuesday.

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 Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The properties Atiku and his family currently own in Dubai amount to roughly $4 million. This would be around N5.6 billion.

Ike Ekweremadu was categorised as a criminal because of his organ harvesting plot conviction in the United Kingdom. He was, however, once a political heavyweight in Nigeria who served as Deputy Senate President.

Garba Shehu was once a member of Nigeria’s House of Representatives.

Hassan Gummi was the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Chief Judge who served between 2002 and 2013.

Ikuforiji served as speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly from 2005 to 2015. Osamwonyi Idahosa served in the Edo State judiciary.

Kalu, the senator representing Abia North Senatorial District and former governor of Abia State, was once convicted of defrauding his own state. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for a N7.65 billion fraud in December 2019. A seven-member panel of the Supreme Court later declared Kalu’s conviction null and void in 2020.

Kalu remains under scrutiny for alleged corruption during his tenure as Abia’s governor.
