Businessperson Abdul Majid Aboobaker under probe on corrupt tendencies
According to a document we have seen signed by about six civil society organisation addressed to ACB, Aboobaker, who stays in Leicester in the UK, has been siphoning billions of money from Malawi.
However, there is not traceable paperwork as to how he made the money and also how he transferred it to the UK.
“He has bought several properties in England but our question is on how did the solicitors accept his funds without proper due diligence”, queries the CSOs.
It is further revealed that currently, Aboobaker has built tiger wheel and mug and bean in Lilongwe valued at about US$10 million.
The group of CSOs are since demanding that an open inquiry need to be instituted into the dealings of Aboobaker, warning that if nothing is happening they will mobilise Malawians to demonstrate against ACB.
