The United Kingdom Charity Commission reveals that it has received several complaints of financial misconduct and conflicts of interest of the Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation in London.

The UKCC’s spokesperson, Sarah Hitchings, informed Punch Newspapers that the commission had also started a broad investigation into the matters because the foundation had violated its regulatory standards.

She said: “We have received complaints about this charity and issues including alleged conflicts of interest and alleged financial misconduct. We currently have an open case in relation to this charity and have been in contact with the trustees.”

“We have recently become aware of further information about potential wrong-doing at the charity which is of regulatory concern to the commission and we are currently considering this new information. We cannot comment further while our case is live.”
