Tribunal Links Atiku to Payment

ParisA Paris tribunal linked Atiku Abubakar to a $500,000 payment.

Atiku is running for president again, testing accountability for Nigeria’s politically exposed elite.

The tribunal found the contractor’s Swiss-registered company wired the sum to a US account held by Atiku’s then-wife, Jennifer Douglas.

Reporters could not confirm claims that Atiku’s visa refusals were linked to the corruption allegations.

Sunrise Power’s promoter failed to rebut the payment finding, but neither he nor Atiku faces criminal charges yet.
