Stinging criticisms from Sweden! By Donu Kogbara

Kio Amachree, president of Worldview International, a Stockholm-based diaspora accountability platform, has launched strong criticisms against Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and his associates, labeling Britain as complicit in Nigerian corruption rather than a neutral bystander.

Britain Is Not a Bystander to Nigerian Corruption. Britain Is the Bank.

Amachree asserts that London functions as a "bank" for looted funds, a claim supported by estimates from Britain's National Crime Agency. These estimates suggest over £100 billion is laundered through or within the UK annually, with up to £10 billion potentially flowing through the London property market each year. Amachree argues that for decades, Nigeria's stolen wealth has consistently moved through this "laundromat."

“

The silence of the rest is not neutrality, it is complicity, and I am done pretending otherwise.

He points to historical examples, such as Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who was found with large sums of cash and significant London real estate holdings. The article also references investigations that have identified UK property linked to over a hundred wealthy and politically exposed Nigerians. Amachree contends that each of these transactions involved a British counterparty, including bankers who onboarded clients and solicitors who handled property conveyances.

“

I have spent the past year doing what British journalism and British government were supposed to do themselves. I documented. I cited court records.

Despite attempts to engage with various British institutions, including newspaper editors and government ministers, Amachree reported receiving no substantive responses, with the exception of the Serious Fraud Office. He interprets this silence not as neutrality but as complicity, suggesting a systemic issue within the UK's financial and governmental bodies regarding the handling of illicit Nigerian funds.

The Thieves and the Receivers: There is an old principle in English law that the receiver of stolen goods is as guilty as the thief.
