Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio has been linked with St. Kitts and Nevis, a tiny Caribbean nation, prominent for illicit financial activities.

Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State is one of several high profile African figures named in the controversial possession of the passport of St. Kitts and Nevis, a tiny Caribbean nation known to be a hub of money laundering and illicit financial activities.

Mr. Akpabio, who is one of President Goodluck Jonathan's closest associates, is named alongside Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, one of the most corrupt scions of a dictator in the world. Teodoro is the son of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the strongman ruler of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea.

Teodoro is currently facing corruption charges in France. Until last month, he was also facing money laundering charges in the US, but the US Justice Department settled the case out of court after cutting a deal with Mr. Teodoro to forfeit some of his assets, including a $30-million Malibu mansion.
