Atiku not on our wanted list – US
The United States Department of Justice has denied having any criminal charges against former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
Kaduna State governor, Nasir El Rufai had in a recent statement dared the Turakin Adamawa to tell the world why he is avoiding the United States of America.
El-Rufai said: “Can Alhaji Atiku explain the findings in the report of the United States Senate Permanent Sub-Committee on Investigations which detailed a pattern of wire transfers of more than USD 40m from offshore companies like Siemens into bank accounts controlled by him and one of his wives.
However, responding to an inquiry by Punch Newspaper, a spokesperson for the US DOJ, Peter Carr said, “Thank you for reaching out to us. I have checked the public court records, and they do not show cases filed against a defendant named Atiku Abubakar.”On whether Abubakar has been banned from entering the US and if there is any court case against him concerning the Halliburton scandal which resulted in the conviction of a US lawmaker, William Jefferson, the spokesman said, “Visa issues are confidential under section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If your question is specifically about entry – not about visas per se – I would refer you to the US Customs and Border Protection.”
