The United States Department of Justice has denied having any record that indicates that Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has a pending lawsuit in the US.
In an email to Punch on Friday, 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 showcases filed against a defendant named Atiku Abubakar.”
This was stated as a response to Sunday Punch’s request for information on whether Abubakar is wanted in the US in connection with any issue of money laundering.
