He said the individuals allegedly entered the NFIU director's office without authorisation and sent communications to US government agencies requesting information concerning Tinubu.
Retired Nigerian Army Major General Danjuma Hamisu Ali-Keffi has alleged that two prominent figures in the All Progressives Congress (APC) who opposed President Bola Tinubu’s emergence as the party’s presidential candidate sought to obtain his confidential records from United States government agencies before the 2023 presidential election.
Ali-Keffi, a former General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division of the Nigerian Army, said the alleged move was brought to his attention by Modibbo Hamman-Tukur, the former Director of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), during the period leading to the APC presidential primary.
The retired general made the allegation in an exclusive interview with SaharaReporters, while discussing the political activities surrounding the emergence of Tinubu as the APC presidential candidate and the role played by several prominent figures within the party.
Ali-Keffi recalled that he was previously the Commander of Operation Service Wide, an operation he described as being focused on terrorism financing and the leadership structure of terrorist organisations.
