DANGOTE DRUGGED MY WIFE, GOT HER RAPED, STOLE MY TRADE SECRETS, BUSINESSMAN TELLS U.S. COURT

Nigeria's business magnate Aliko Dangote was involved in alleged rape and psychological manipulation of the wife of a businessman Kevin Ajenifuja, with an intention to steal his trade secrets, court documents obtained by peoples Gazelle said.

Mr Ajenifuja said he had developed the technique and process of a sector exchange traded funds for Africa in June 2004, after over 10 years of research.

In a lawsuit filled by the businessman on August 2, 2019, Mr Dangote allegedly made arrangements on how my wife, Ajenifuja's, 22-weeks pregnant was drugged and how young men slept with her with the intention of stealing his trade secrets.

Mr. Ajenifuja alleged that Mr Dangote connived with some World Bank Group employees, precisely on February 8, 2010, to invite his then wife to a meeting at a Catholic mission in Washington, D.C., area where she was allegedly given illicit drugs.

The Gazette also learnt in the lawsuit that Ms. Anita was also given opioid medications on a regular basis, which she became addicted to. She subsequently engaged in extramarital affairs with young men near Washington, and the troubling situation was subsequently used to blackmail her into turning against her husband until she handed over his trade secrets to Mr Dangote.

The World Bank denied the allegations and the court rejected Mr Ajenifuja's lawsuit because it was statute barred.

A spokesman for Mr Dangote declined comments about the lawsuit when reached by The Gazette on Wednesday afternoon.

The businessman only confirmed the theft of his trade secrets in December 2016 after several investigations.

While Africa's richest man's alleged actions caused issues between the plantiff and his wife, Mr. Dangote resigned as the President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 2014, a year before the expiration of his term, "to conceal his involvement," the lawsuit said.

Mr Dangote took many by surprise in 2014 when he announced his intention to step down as the president during the 53rd annual meeting of the NSE held in Lagos, making him the first to step down.
