Panama Papers scandal: CCB probes Peter Obi, Saraki, David Mark, Ibori and others

Nigeria’s Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has opened an investigation into seven prominent people named in the Panama Papers and Pandora Papers over undeclared offshore assets. Those under investigation are Peter Obi, Bukola Saraki, David Mark, Stella Oduah, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, James Ibori and Stella Ogene. CCB sources said case officers had been assigned and investigations had begun, with the bureau planning to extend its inquiries to other Nigerians named in the leaks. The probe examines possible breaches of asset-declaration rules, including holding assets through offshore companies and maintaining foreign bank accounts; the CCB cautioned that the allegations do not automatically establish wrongdoing.
