A Nigerian-born activist, Kio Amachree, says he has escalated a series of international petitions to INTERPOL over allegations relating to money laundering and asset acquisitions allegedly linked to Seyi Tinubu.
Amachree, President of Worldview International, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday.
He said the petitions were submitted to the Secretary General of INTERPOL in Lyon, France, and copied to several international agencies and UK authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the UK Serious Fraud Office, the UK National Crime Agency, Sweden’s security service SAPO, and the United Nations.
According to him, the petitions form part of what he described as a broader campaign to raise concerns about governance and corruption involving officials and associates of the Nigerian government.
Amachree alleged that a London property valued at about £9 million was acquired through an offshore company and claimed that the transaction was linked to proceeds from a larger fraud case previously referenced in international media reports.
However, the allegations have not been independently verified by law enforcement agencies or any court of law.
The activist also referenced legal provisions in the United Kingdom, including Unexplained Wealth Orders, arguing that such measures could be used to investigate the source of funds used in high-value property acquisitions involving politically exposed persons.
He further suggested that INTERPOL processes, including the issuance of Red Notices, could potentially trigger detention and extradition proceedings in jurisdictions where such notices are recognised.
INTERPOL, however, does not issue arrest warrants directly, and any action would depend on requests from member states and domestic legal procedures.
The Nigerian government and Seyi Tinubu had not issued any official response to the allegations as of the time of filing this report.
Amachree maintained that his actions were aimed at promoting international accountability and transparency, adding that he was pursuing the matter through “proper legal channels.”
