Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, is being investigated by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) for allegedly utilizing the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to siphon funds between 1999 and 2007.
Remember that Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labor and Employment, filed the petition against Atiku before to the recently ended presidential election.
The plaintiff joined the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as the second, third, and fourth defendants in the case filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja by the Festus Keyamo Chamber, with Atiku as the first defendant.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiff (Keyamo) is requesting a court declaration that the first defendant (Atiku) is required by law to provide the second, third, and fourth defendants with access to information regarding a specific bank account belonging to a company called Marine Float and other accounts of two undisclosed companies, which information he disclosed to a certain close aide named Michael Achimugu in order to assist his investigation.

Festus Keyamo Chambers confirmed the invitation on Thursday in a press release signed by John Ainetor, Asst. Head of Chambers, in Lagos.
“The Bureau has invited our client Mr. Festus Keyamo to come forward to adopt his petition and to help it to secure the presence of the whistleblower, Mr. Michael Achimugu to assist in the investigation.
“Mr. Keyamo assures that the crusade for accountability in respect of this issue was not a campaign gimmick as he promises to follow it through to a logical conclusion, even after the victory of the President-Elect, ASIWAJU Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the chambers said.
