Seyi Tinubu reportedly acquires $10.8 Million London mansion — Bloomberg
Seyi Tinubu, the son of the president elect Senator Bola Tinubu has reportedly purchased a house in 2017 for the sum of $10.8m through his firm, said Bloomberg.
Report has it that the son of the president elect purchased a London house which was initially owned by Kolawole Aluko — who’s already being investigated by the Nigerian government for fraud.
Report further revealed that the asset acquired by the son of the president elect was one of the most serious corruption scandals which the government of President Muhammadu Buhari was trying to investigate.
Bloomberg said the documents revealed that the 37 year old Seyi Tinubu is “the main shareholder of Aranda Overseas Corp., an offshore company that paid £9million ($10.8 million) to Deutsche Bank for the property in north London in late 2017.”
“The private three-floor residence in St. John’s Wood — a district favored by American bankers — is equipped with an eight-car driveway, two gardens, electric gates and a gym,” the report said.
Report further revealed that the documents did not claim that Tinubu was originally involved in the acquisition of the asset in 2007.
It also said the Nigerian President paid a visit to him in the property in August 2021.
The foreign news medium said neither Seyi Tinubu not his spokesperson responded to phone calls, messages and emails seeking comment on the scandals.
The report has generated reactions from social media users.
They cast aspersions on the Nigerian president for selling an asset which was under investigation.
