Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has alleged that the privacy of his banking information may have been breached after an unexplained payment was made into one of his personal bank accounts.
The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) made the allegation in a statement issued on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu.
According to the statement, the transfer originated from an unidentified individual and was accompanied by the narration, “Contribution Electioneering Campaign.”
Atiku said neither he nor his campaign team requested, approved, or had prior knowledge of the payment, describing the transaction as unauthorised.
“Neither His Excellency nor his campaign solicited, authorised or has any knowledge of the individual or entity behind the unauthorised payment,” the statement said.
The former vice president expressed concern that the incident suggests his confidential banking details may have been exposed, raising questions about the security of his personal financial information.
