CCB Investigates Peter Obi and Others for Offshore Assets
The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has initiated investigations into seven prominent Nigerians named in the Panama Papers and Pandora Papers for alleged undeclared offshore assets and business interests. The individuals under scrutiny include Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate and former Anambra State governor; former Senate Presidents Bukola Saraki and David Mark; and former Minister of Aviation Stella Oduah.
Additionally, the late former Bayelsa State governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, former Delta State governor James Ibori, and retired President of the Delta State Customary Court of Appeal Stella Ogene are also being investigated. Sources at the CCB confirmed that investigators have been assigned to these cases.
The CCB had previously engaged with Premium Times regarding the Pandora Papers, which revealed that Obi remained a director of a British firm after assuming office and allegedly failed to declare certain offshore holdings. Obi stated he was unaware of the need to declare jointly owned assets and denied diverting public funds.
