Paris Tribunal Names Atiku in Mambilla Contract Award, Traces $500,000 to Ex-Wife's US Account

A Paris arbitration tribunal's final award on the stalled Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project names Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria's former vice president and now ADC presidential candidate, who held office when the contract went to Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Ltd. The tribunal found Sunrise promoter Leno Adesanya paid $500,000 on 30 January 2003 from an offshore company's Swiss account to a US account belonging to Atiku's then-future wife, Jennifer Douglas. A 2010 US Senate report found Douglas opened more than 30 US accounts and told banks her husband moved millions through offshore firms. Her Maryland mansion later sold at auction for about $2.95 million.
