Tinubu bought 20 homes in London when he was governor of Lagos. The information on these 20 homes has been made public.
Bola Tinubu, who will be the next president of Nigeria, is being sued by six people who don't want him to take office. It has been found that he made a lot of his money in England.
In London, some small houses that he owns alone or with people close to him have been found.
Also, it was found that Bola Tinubu bought the houses when he was Governor of Lagos State.
Tinubu will take over from President Muhammadu Buhari. He will be sworn in on May 29, 2023. Tinubu's opponents think that his win is not real and is just a plan.
Tinubu has become the boss of many leaders in the South West, especially their governors who have tied their bottoms to get to power. He is also seen as the person who helped Buhari win the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections.
Most of the people he has convinced to become governors work for Tinubu's business or are his son.
On Tuesday, Bloomberg Daily reported that Bola Tinubu's son, Oluwaseyi, is one of the shareholders of Aranda Overseas Corporation, a foreign company that bought the property in England for $19.8 million in 2017.
At the same time that the house was bought, Nigeria was about to take over a big house in London that was owned by a small oil dealer who is facing fraud and corruption charges in both Nigeria and Britain.
The news service OCCRP, which has a deal with PREMIUM TIMES to share sensitive information, told this newspaper about all the information that had been buried but was recently found.
OCCRP has also found that Tinubu is linked to about 20 houses in London.
Kafar also said that Tinubu bought the houses between May 1999 and May 2007 when he was Governor of Lagos State.
Bola Tinubu spokesperson, Yada Labaran, didn't pick up the phone when our reporter called to talk to Tinubu.
"We need to find out where the money came from that was used to buy the homes." - TI
Transparency International in the United Kingdom said that if there are signs that the homes were bought with "stolen money," it should be looked into. The same is true of Steve Goodrich, who is in charge of research at TI.
"Because it will be hard to get enough money to buy small houses in London, but this was only done to hide a scandal." He said.
The History of tinubu's dirty work:
1. In 1993, the US government caught Tinubu and brought the drugs into the country with him as payment for a drug deal. Tinubu had to promise to pay $460,000.
In 1993, he was given a sentence by the United States District Court in Illinois.
2. In 1993, Tinubu's business, Abeeb Holdings Limited, which was based abroad and registered on the island of Gibraltar, bought a house in London with the address "Flat 9" on New Cavendish Road.
Under a new law called the Foreign Companies Disclosure Act, the British government was able to find out who owned the house by finding out who owned the company.
3. In 2011, Bola Tinubu's son's company, Aranda Overseas Corporation, bought the house next to the one that Bola Tinubu had bought in 1993. This house was number 10A.
Oladipo Eludoyin, a close friend of Tinubu and a Director of Aranda Overseas Corporation, signed the papers for the sale of the house.
4. The OCCRP found out that 17 of Eludoyin's homes were bought with money from three companies in the British Virgin Islands. They bought 17 homes in London.
5. Eludoyin bought the houses he bought in 2004 and 2007 when Tinubu was the governor of Lagos State.
Babatunde Fashola, who became governor after Tinubu arrived in Lagos, and Sanwo-Olu, who is the present governor, both used to work for Aranda Resou Limited.
Because Sanwo-Olu hasn't quit his job as Director at Tinubu's Aranda Resources Limited, he won't be sworn in as governor of Lagos until 26 days from now.
Adegboyega Oyetola, who used to be the Governor of Osun, used to be a Director at Aranda Overseas Corporation.
When Tinubu's family-owned Aranda Overseas Corporation is not known. But when the company got its license in the British Virgin Islands in 1999, Tinubu's son was only 14 years old and was starting high school in England.
