The following are five of the transactions being investigated:

2. His handling of the sale of billions of naira in assets forfeited to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by politically exposed individuals.
3. His role in a $419 million judgment against consultants who claimed to have facilitated Paris Club returns to states.
