A corruption-tainted London mansion that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration had targeted for confiscation now belongs to Nigeria's president-elect Bola Tinubu's son through an offshore shell company, which is also linked to the politician's surrogates.
The property was being investigated by the Nigerian government as part of a corruption probe involving its former owner, Kolawole Aluko, who was accused of evading an oil-trading debt worth over U.S.$1.5 billion. Bloomberg reported that Oluwaseyi Tinubu is listed as the main shareholder of the company that purchased the property.
Tinubu uses the property for his stay in London and photos from there became popular online when the politician was hosting political figures there while convalescing in 2021. Buhari whose government had sought had targeted the property for confiscation was one of the guests.
The president-elect has faced questions regarding the source of his family's wealth, but he and his campaign have denied any wrongdoing.
Nigerians are corrupt? Who’d have guessed...
A Nigerian prince?
Democrats must be so proud of Joe and Hunter...

The Nigerian politicians are all crooks but at least they occasionally throw some of them in jail.
Pretty smart wouldn’t you say?
Maybe he’s really the love child of ‘the big guy’... sounds like he could be Hunter’s brother.
