Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State is
one of several high profile African figures
named in the controversial possession of the
passport of St. Kitts and Nevis, a tiny Caribbean
nation known to be a hub of money laundering and illicit financial activities. Mr. Akpabio, who is one of President Goodluck
Jonathan's closest associates, is named alongside
Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, one of the most
corrupt scions of a dictator in the world. Teodoro is
the son of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the
strongman ruler of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea.
Teodoro is currently facing corruption charges in
France. Until last month, he was also facing money
laundering charges in the US, but the US Justice
Department settled the case out of court after
cutting a deal with Mr. Teodoro to forfeit some of
his assets, including a $30-million Malibu mansion.
Also listed in the infamous list of “economic
citizens” of St. Kitts and Nevis is a notorious oil
subsidy thief, Oluwaseun Ogunbambo, who has been
a fugitive from justice in Nigeria after being
implicated in the theft of billions of naira from
Nigeria’s oil subsidy funds. Mr. Ogunbambo is known
to own numerous passports.
In order to obtain a St. Kitts and Nevis passport,
one must invest at least $400,000 in real estate in
the Caribbean nation or contribute at least
$250,000 to the St. Kitts and Nevis Sugar Industry
Diversification Foundation, according the
stipulations of the St. Kitts and Nevis “Investment
Program.” “That means that Governor Akpabio has
sunk hundreds of thousands of dollars of fund
belonging to the long suffering people of Akwa
Ibom in order to qualify to own a passport from St.
Kitts and Nevis,” an Uyo-based critic of Mr.
Akpabio said.
The US Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement
Network (FinCEN) has warned the Caribbean nation
that several individuals who obtained St-Kitts and
Nevis passports through the nebulous investment
program are engaging in illegal financial activities.
Nigerian politicians have a history of buying
passports from fringe nations noted for shielding
individuals who engage in shady financial
transactions. Several of these nations also serve as
tax havens for hiding profits and laundering money.
One notable example is current Nigerian Senate
President David Mark who is known to be a citizen
of Belize, a tiny country in eastern Central America.
Mr. Mark hid millions of dollars stolen from Nigeria
in offshore bank accounts until a bitter divorce
from his former wife, Victoria, exposed his hidden
wealth.
SaharaReporters contacted Mr. Akpabio via text
message but he did not respond. His commissioner
of information, Aniekan Umanah, however said Mr.
Akpabio had only been to St. Kitts and Nevis once
on the invitation of the prime minister to attend
the island nation’s Independence Day celebration
last year. He said he could not ascertain if Mr.
Akpabio obtained a passport from St. Kitts and
Nevis. He promised to get back to us, and when he
did he said Mr. Akpabio doesn't have a passport of st kitts and nevins. www.saharareporters.com/2014/12/01/governor-akpabio-named-shady-possession-st-kitts-and-nevis-passport

Haha. Another Ibori in the making. His slot is already reserved in an American or European prison.

Hmmm. I wonder why when all this information is revealed, the very people whose lives are being destroyed by these corrupt sons of angel lucifer (AKA Satan) simply smile and ask yo "IS IT YOUR MONEY!!?" .. no amount of exposure will bring about justice in this country

Where are the saTANic defenders?

Akpabio is worse than ibori and Odili combined. He's a thief that enjoys the backing of gullible Akwa Ibomites. What an Uncommon Thief

Mad race to hide stolen funds, immunity is about to expire...

All after 8 years in office and largest budgets in West Africa that yielded only 1 football pitch, 1 bogus library, 1 cinema and a few roads..


All at the expense of the poor people of Akwa Ibom...smh..

Private Jet is Politicians Bicycle here in Naijaland

Akwa Ibomites are not politically enlightened. They don't even know what goes on in government, sadly, they also don't have vibrant opposition and activists. They seem relaxed and comfortable eating the crumbs off Akpabio and praising him to high heavens. They don't even verify government claims not to talk of questioning the government. I hope someone come to their rescue

Caution!!! make your point without abusing words

How I wish a kind of military 1983 Buhari Can come back?
Na Laugh we go dey laugh for Nairaland. When u hear stories like Umaru Dikko capture..

so what wrong if a Governor of a state with annually budget of more 400 billion uses 250,000 is just 45 million while 400,000 is just 72 million therefore less than 0.0001 percent as personal expenses

When is the time going to arrive because Tinubu left office a decade ago and he has no immunity? Abi not now while your useless oga is still in office?

Or as usual he's just too incompetent to do his job?


Tinubu left office almost a decade ago but your crooked and incompetent president with his statutory powers and law enforcement at his disposal, he still can not arrest and put Tinubu in jail? Abi who is the president, commander in chief and the chief law enforcement officer? Is it Tinubu or your worthless and incompetent Oga?

When you people spew Tinubu to cover and divert, you in effect ridicule and finger point your worthless and useless Aso Rock loser...

Btw, didn't you crooked and corrupt "Stealing is not corruption" crooked and corrupt Aso rock clown put him on trial before and lost shamefully?
