ATIKU, EL RUFAI, OTHERS OWN N1.49TRN INVESTMENT IN DUBAI

A comprehensive investigation has uncovered that approximately 200 Nigerian politicians, security officers, and their associates have collectively invested almost $1 billion (N1.49 trillion) in Dubai’s real estate market over the past two decades, according to a BusinessDay report.

The explosive findings are part of a global investigative project, “Dubai Unlocked,” spearheaded by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and over 70 media partners worldwide.

Economy Post, the sole Nigerian participant in this investigation, provided crucial data revealing extensive property holdings by politically exposed Nigerian persons (PEPs), their families, and high-ranking civil servants in Dubai.

The report indicates a significant increase from previous years, with the current figures standing at 1,600 properties valued at $997.79 million, up from 800 properties worth $400 million in 2020.

These properties are located in some of Dubai’s most prestigious areas, including the Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah.

Nigerians rank as the second-largest foreign real estate investors in Dubai, trailing only behind Indians, with PEPs and their connections owning approximately 88% of the properties tied to Nigerians.

BusinessDay’s analysis also included social media scrutiny and cross-referencing birth dates to confirm identities and property ownership.

A law professor, Emmanuel Okeke, commented on the findings, noting that while owning property abroad is lawful, the significant capital flow into Dubai’s market raises concerns about potential corruption.

“These revelations are critical as they shed light on the foreign investment behaviors of Nigerian elites and their implications on the country’s economic and anti-corruption landscape,” said Okeke.

    DON’T PAY TO APPLY FOR PRE-PAID METER – EEDC WARNS CUSTOMERS

    DON’T PAY TO APPLY FOR PREPAID METERS – EEDC WARNS CUSTOMERS The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC, EEDC, has cautioned its customers against falling victim to any individual or group demanding money from them to process their electricity meter application. The Head of Corporate Communications, EEDC, Mr. Emeka Ezeh on Tuesday in a statement reacting to a claim circulating on social media aimed at defrauding its customers who are applying for meters. He stressed that EEDC does not charge customers for meter applications. The company said it has an online meter application infrastructure in place that allows customers to apply for prepaid meters and monitor their applications seamlessly. It noted that a situation where customers would be made to pay for meter applications is worrisome. Ezeh said the fraudulent announcement is said to have emanated from a group known as South East Electricity Consumers Association (SEECA), signed by its National Chairman, Rev. Okechukwu Christopher Obioha, requesting electricity customers who are applying for prepaid meters to submit their application form to the Association with a remittance of N5000 into a First Bank account (2044673039) as cost for “data and other logistics”. “We call on our customers not to allow themselves to be defrauded by paying for meter application as it is illegal, inapplicable and unnecessary. “It is only the cost of the meter that customers are expected to pay for (under the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) program), after a Demand Note must have been issued to them, having formally applied for the meter through the approved official channel.“All that customers who want to apply for meters need to do is simply log on to the EEDC website,” he stated.
