President Muhammadu Buhari and Ibrahim Magu, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), are billed to depart Nigeria on Tuesday for an anti-graft summit in London.
In a report entitled: ‘Palaces of Corruption’, The Mail on Sunday, published pictures and locations of houses belonging to two late former governors, who faced graft charges in their lifetime.
They are Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who governed Bayelsa state between 1999 and 2005, and Abubakar Audu, two-term governor of Kogi state, who was seeking a return to the government house at the time of his death.
Nigerians were not the only ones listed in the report.
The children of Muammar Gaddafi, Libyan dictator; Omar Bongo, late president of Gabon; Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan’s leader; and Kurmanbek Bakiyev, Kyrgyzstan president, were also included.
“Properties bought with dirty money often sit empty for long periods. Those living nearby have no idea who their neighbours are, undermining any sense of community. Most importantly, those properties are taken off the market, further squeezing housing supply,” the report read.
Nigerians are known to have properties in choice locations across the world.

ReplyDeleteMy Bible tells me that "All is vanity". And the Bible must be very right. Of what use are these mansions now to the dead owners?
ReplyDeleteI hope our leaders will now learn to leave in moderation. When you embezzle public funds, you dehumanise your self and pile God's wrath on your head. A word is enough for the wise.
They are just bunch of fools, if Nigeria is built instead of destroying, will they all not enjoy the houses if also built from real sweat. They will all account to God what they did in their life time. Also, what about the past and present politicians.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they mention those of the living corrupt officials? Hypocrites!

ReplyDeleteAnonymous 9:17am, is it the president of Nigeria you just insulted like that? Your generation is cursed. Retract that insult now as even the bible forbids such comments on our leaders no matter their performance. Learn to respect leaders.#word#
ReplyDeleteWhere is the insult? Is he not a Nomad? Do stories not always surface when his travel itch starts? Focus on the facts and respond instead of trolling and insulting ppl that don't love your Nomad. And it is your generation that is cursed. #BackToSender.
