The U.S. Attorney General has been petitioned to unseal court documents related to a disgraced American Buhari regime collaborator on the anniversary of his indictment, arrest and arraignment for election foreign finance fraud.
GOP politician Doug Wead who infamously collaborated with the Buhari administration to persecute me in the US, on the promise that Wead would be given the Chibok girls I brought to America so he could keep over $300,000 fraudulently raised, was criminally charged with another Republican.
They duped a Russian businessman of $100,000 out of which they donated only $25,000 to the Trump campaign falsely claiming it came from them. It is a violation of US law to bring in foreign finance for US elections. The letter to the US AG requests disclosure of details of Weads crimes in the run up to the 2024.
The crimes were committed in 2016 at the very time Doug Wead was also acting as agent for the Buhari regime against me. It is unclear whether moneys changed hands between Wead, the Nigerian government or Murtala Mohammed Foundation whom he announced as his “partners“ on his website.
Ironically Doug Wead also took two of the Chibok girls on a courtesy call to see Trump, whom he had duped, in the White House some months later. He has since died ignominiously. (See story below.) He had also embezzled funds raised for the care of all 12 girls I brought even when he had none.

PETITION TO US ATTORNEY GENERAL
September 23, 2024
Hon Attorney General Merrick Garland
US Department of Justice
Washington DC
Dear Attorney General Garland,
I trust you are well.
I wish to commend your recent proactive steps to indict and prosecute foreign entities attempting to influence the U.S. elections.
In that same context, I write to respectfully request that you unveil the partially sealed indictment of two individuals whom you charged with fraudulently funneling Russian funds into a U.S. presidential campaign in the 2016 elections.
Exactly three years ago, DOJ charged Doug Wead and his coconspirator Jesse Benton in a corrupt scheme to collect $100,000 from a Russian and surreptitiously channel $25,000 of it to the campaign of a presidential aspirant while hiding the foreign origins of the funds in violation of U.S. law.
On the anniversary of the DOJ’s arraignment of Mr Doug Wead and Mr Jesse Benton in the US District Court of the District of Columbia, it is critical that the entire charges and accompanying documents, evidence and exhibits be unsealed to enable the American public understand the scope, threat and mode of operation of foreign influencers in a bid to mitigate future repeat infiltration and election interference schemes.
It is important to note that the late Doug Wead was also the arrowhead of another foreign influence campaign serving as a proxy to the Nigerian regime of Gen. Buhari to attack, harass and defame the undersigned, an international human rights lawyer and perceived critic of the regime, in retaliation for my congressional testimony regarding rights abuses and terrorism in Nigeria. It is a U.S federal offense to retaliate or intimidate a witness in congress or in court.
Despite numerous reports and alerts to the U.S. government, Doug Wead was allowed to get away with this even though unprotected by diplomatic immunity and was rewarded by the Buhari regime who awarded him several of the Nigerian Chibok schoolgirls’ yours truly brought to schools in the U.S. after they were deceptively taken from their schools. This arrangement enabled him to corruptly keep and spend an estimated $300,000 he received in donations for the Chibok schoolgirls, while he had none with him, in a brazen exploitation of the publicity over the terror group Boko Haram’s mass abduction that spurred the #Bringbackourgirls campaign.
Incidentally, Doug Wead perpetrated the Nigerian foreign witness retaliation scheme at the very same time that he was conducting the Russian foreign money infiltration scheme for which he was subsequently charged on September 19, 2021.
Accordingly, unsealing the record and investigating his other organizations, affiliates and activities could shed light on what other potential foreign criminal enterprises and influence methods, operations and tactics might still be in play now in the public’s interest.
This is important because charging documents in the public record show that Doug Wead fraudulently tried to hide the influx of $100,000 Russian funds disguised as consultancies and charitable causes including possibly as donations for the Nigerian schoolgirls.
Indeed Wead also bribed parents of two Chibok girls with property, in a successful attempt to seduce them from Nigerian government’s control, by misusing charitable donations.
Thank you for your kind attention and prompt action to unseal the documents in safeguarding our democracy.
