Newly Appointed NPA Boss, Bello-Koko Entangles In Secret Multi-million Dollar Offshore Deals
The newly appointed substantive Managing Director Of Nigerian Port Authority, (NPA), Mohammed Bello-Koko, is currently entangled in secret offshore deals exposed by the Pandora paper.
“Prior to this appointment, Koko was the executive director, finance & administration of NPA,” the statement reads.
Meanwhile, the Pandora Papers in 2021 revealed that Bello Koko was behind two shell companies incorporated in a tax haven to anonymously invest in the United Kingdom property market.
This potentially violates Nigeria’s public service code of conduct laws, according to report in Sahara Reporters.
Pandora Papers also disclosed that he and his wife, Agatha Anne Koko, enlisted the services of financial secrecy seller, Cook Worldwide and Alemán, Cordero, Galindo & Lee (Alcogal), an offshore law firm, to register Coulwood Limited (reg. number: 1487897) and Marney Limited (reg. number: 1487944) in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), one of the world’s most commonly used tax havens, in 2008. Both companies were registered the same day, June 19, 2008.
Though a public servant, Bello Koko is also a director of the two companies, in violation of Nigeria’s Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act (Sections 5 and 6).
Pandora Papers project is led by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
