Atiku Raises Alarm over Alleged Leak of Private Bank Account Details

Atiku Abubakar says the transfer was not solicited and warns the leak could expose account holders to kidnappers, terrorists, bandits and fraudsters.

  • On Friday, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar reported an unsolicited credit into his private bank account and alerted security agencies, questioning how unknown parties obtained his confidential financial details.
  • Phrank Shaibu, Senior Special Assistant to Atiku, disclosed the transfer bore the narration "Contribution Electioneering Campaign," though neither Atiku nor his campaign team authorized or possessed knowledge of the sender.
  • Shaibu warned that if confidential data was obtained via privileged access, it constitutes "a grave abuse of power capable of exposing the account holder" to kidnappers, terrorists, and fraudsters.
  • The incident follows a series of suspicious activities ahead of next year's general elections, as Atiku described the development as "tired tactics" intended to distract from his leadership focus.
  • Dismissing attempts at character assassination, the Waziri Adamawa remains focused on providing credible leadership to Nigerians. His office asserts such antics have failed before and will fail again.
