Corrupt Nigerian politicians, including those convicted by the courts, paid millions of naira to British schools as their students’ school fees, a report has stated.
This occurred while public schools in Nigeria deteriorated under the watch of some of these officials.
The report named two convicted former Nigerian governors, James Ibori and Joshua Dariye, as some of the politically exposed persons (PEPs) who sponsored their wards in British schools, likely using funds from corruption.
The report stated that United Kingdom private boarding schools and universities are top destinations for scores of children of top Nigeria politicians, many of whom have unexplainable sources of income.
