#PPLAAF #Nigeria #Corruption Good to see that the Washington Post story about how disgraced Nigerian official Sambo Dasuki moved public money to his proxies, who then invested about $24 million into luxury real estate in Los Angeles and near Washington, DC.

Here is the Washington Post article about the #Dasukigate properties uncovered by #PPLAAF @pplaaf.bsky.social in Virginia and California.

There's a lot more to say, but in the meantime here is a #PPLAAF video on the investigation. 10/10

#Introduction

The Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa #PPLAAF is an NGO founded in 2017 by lawyers, anti-corruption activists and investigative journalists that seeks to defend and advocate on behalf of whistleblowers whose disclosures speak to the public interest of African citizens.

Through #PPLAAF and other organizations, notably Francophone group @openfacto.bsky.social, I train journalists and civil society groups on how to 'follow the money.'

Drop me a line if you want to hear more about #PPLAAF, my work, and training.
