AA&R Investment Group and Haske Deny Money Laundering Allegations, Threaten Legal Action

AA&R Investment Group and Haske refute money laundering allegations published by Africa Report. Managing Director Abdullahi Bashir Haske demanded a retraction and threatened legal action over false claims linking their aviation subsidiary, Mars Aviation Limited, to money laundering and political sponsorship with NNPC.

The company strongly denied the allegations, clarifying Haske's legal status and Mars Aviation's legitimate operations since 2018. They emphasized lawful services provided to NNPC without political ties.

Haske's lawyer, Banwo Ighodalo, stated the accusations were baseless and solely due to health-related travel. The company highlighted their compliance and lack of business connections with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
