More evidence has emerged linking the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to activities believed to be related to narcotics on a grand scale, following the discovery that he paid over $4 million to a Colombian-owned company through Alpha Beta Consulting Limited, a company revealed to be owned by him.
Tinubu’s ownership of Alpha Beta was established by Mr. Oladapo Apara, the acclaimed founder of Alpha Beta Consulting LLP, who revealed that Tinubu concealed his control of the firm in the early 2000s, as governor of Lagos State.
According to Mr. Apara, Tinubu awarded the newly established ABC a contract to collect taxes in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, that it still holds.
Apara filed his suit on October 2, 2020, against Alpha Beta Consulting LLP, Senator Tinubu and Mr. Akin Doherty, who are the defendants in the suit.
See the attached document below:
In the suit, Apara revealed that Tinubu made many suspicious transfers including a double payment to Summit Integrated Services Ltd. to the tune of $4,396,063.33.
Whereby the first payment amounted to $2,989,063.33, the payment is in the sum of $1,407,000.00.
Apara, many times, used the terms “unexplained transfer” and “money laundering” in his allegations involving especially the corporate entities and companies listed as beneficiaries of these unexplained transactions.

Interested persons are enjoined to view or download the case files of the Dapo Apara v Bola Tinubu/Alpha Beta lawsuit here.
The physical case files were conveniently destroyed when the Igbosere High Court mysteriously burned down in 2020 and the case has not been refiled.
Investigations, meanwhile, would later reveal that Summit Integrated Services Ltd. is a UK registered “engineering services” company whose directors all hail from and live in Colombia.
Further investigations also revealed that “Summit Integrated Services”, Company number 13089983, is a briefcase company created through a company creation service called Quality Company Formations (QCF Secretaries Limited).
It is owned by one Eparquio Jose Gonzalez Oliveros and his children, all based in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia.

For the curious minds, unusually for an entrepreneur purporting to offer services publicly, the only other place Eparquio Jose Gonzalez Oliveros shows up is on the board of “Eparquio Jose Gonzalez Oliveros and Sons Ltd,” a small company which says it offers “road freight transport” in Barranquilla.
The total net worth of the company, as stated on Colombian public record is less than $50,000, clearly and hardly a significant business entity in global terms.
Yet its owner apparently maintains a UK briefcase company that receives millions of dollars.
A little search on “Barranquilla” in northwestern Colombia, meanwhile throws up a gamut of information on its importance to the global drug trade.
Due to the rise of drug cartels in the 80s and 90s and its maritime proximity to the US and Central America, its port is a major cocaine export hub.
According to the Citizen Security Observatory, deadly violence has been most intense in the southwest of Barranquilla where the majority of gangs are located.
Barranquilla’s container terminal has been one of Colombia’s biggest drug trafficking hubs since the 1960’s when the country’s main illicit export was marijuana.
The port city became of major importance for the export of cocaine in the 1990’s when drug traffickers began promoting domestic production instead of importing the illicit drug from Bolivia and Peru.
Over the past few years, cocaine production has surged in the northern Catatumbo, Bajo Cauca and Southern Bolivar regions that are relatively easy to reach from Barranquilla.
After a thorough analysis of Tinubu/Alpha Beta’s involvement with Summit Integrated Services Ltd., a Colombian company, David Hundeyin said:
“These are the questions that need to be asked:
“Why did Alpha Beta Consultants, a business owned by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a known drug trafficker, transfer $4,396.063.33 to this briefcase entity owned by an unknown Colombian “entrepreneur” based in Barranquilla, a major global cocaine export hub on 18/03/2015?”
It is, therefore, no surprise that the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, after several failed attempts to present Tinubu before the court, ordered that he forfeit the sum of $460,000 the American Government. Read more.
