Presidency orders probe of Nigerians named in #panamapapers

The senate president, Bukola Saraki, and his predecessor, David Mark, and other prominent Nigerians may soon be in trouble as the Presidency has ordered the investigation of present and past Nigerian officials named in the Panama Papers scandal.
The chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, Sam Saba, confirmed the directive to PREMIUM TIMES.
This newspaper had published leaked papers from a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonsecca, which were obtained by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The 2.6 TB files, involving 214,488 entities, exposed incredible secrets of the underworld economy, where a network of banks, law firms and other middlemen utilize shell companies, sometimes to hide illegal wealth.
PREMIUM TIMES identified at least 110 Nigerians and companies operating offshore shell companies in tax havens.
Mr. Saba said the Presidency forwarded names of some persons mentioned in the Panama Papers, to the agency for investigation.more

If true, his life would have spanned three centuries, but despite his apparent age he remains strong enough to perform yoga for hours at a time.
