Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations in the Pandora Papers, a report by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

According to reports, Obi was invited to report to the anti-graft agency’s headquarters in Abuja on October 27.

The Pandora Papers has alleged that Obi failed to declare his assets in full to Nigeria’s Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

The former governor was also alleged to have set up a discreet company in the British Virgin Island, and named the company Gabriella Investments Limited, after his daughter. According to the leaks, Obi allegedly contracted Acces International, a secrecy enabler in Monaco, France, to help him incorporate an offshore entity in one of the world’s most notorious tax havens known for providing conduits for wealthy and privileged corrupt political elites to hide stolen cash.

However, the former governor, who reacted on a national television, refuted the allegations, saying all his offshore companies were set up from the proceeds of his business, in which he had engaged before venturing into politics.

Recall, The New Diplomat had Reported 10 Nigerian Politicians Indicted In Pandora Papers. The leaks which were released on Sunday exposed financial secrets and offshore dealings of over 330 heads of state, public officials and politicians from 91 countries and territories.

The leaked details which obtained information from over 11.9 million confidential files, was complied by more than 600 journalists from 150 news organisations around the world.
