Richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote has been accused of raping and psychological manipulating the wife of a businessman, Kevin Ajenifuja, with an intention to steal his trade secrets.
According to court documents obtained by Peoples Gazette, Ajenifuja stated that after 10 years of researching, he developed a process and technique that can be used for sector trade exchange for Africa.
In a lawsuit filed by the businessman on August 2, 2019, Dangote allegedly made arrangements on how Ajenifuja’s 22-weeks pregnant wife was drugged and how young men slept with her with the intention of stealing his trade secrets.
Ajenifuja further alleged that business magnate connived with some World Bank Group employees, on February 8, 2010, to invite his then wife, Anita to a meeting at a Catholic mission in Washington, D.C., area where she was allegedly given illicit drugs.
He claimed that she later became addicted to, and made her engage in extramarital affairs with different young men, which was used to blackmail her until she revealed her husband’s secrets to Dangote.
According to the publication;
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.
Ajenifuja stated that he only found out about the theft trade secrets in December 2016 after several investigations.

However, World Bank denied the allegations and the court rejected Ajenifuja’s lawsuit because it was statute barred.
The term – statute barred – is used to describe a legal action that cannot be brought to court because too much time has passed.
While Africa’s richest man’s alleged actions caused issues between Ajenifuja and his wife, 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 alleged.
In 2015, Dangote shockingly announced his intention to step down as the president during the 53rd annual meeting of NSE held in Lagos, making him the first to step down before the end of his term.
Giving a reason for the decision, Dangote cited the need to have more time for the execution of his companies’ expansion across Africa as the basis for his resignation.
However, Ajenifuja in court documents claimed;
On information and belief Defendant Dangote resigned to conceal his involvement in what happened to Plaintiff and Anita Koepcke.

Ajenifuja added that it was around December 20, 2014, that he searched for the missing copies of the trade secrets and suspected that they had been stolen by Dangote via Anita.
He alleged that the trade secrets were sold to Vetiva Funds Managers Limited, Lagos, who Dangote had a close business relationship with.
Ajenifuja further stated that the affairs caused “severe emotional suffering because his home was foreclosed by the mortgage company as a result of loss of income,” the documents said.
In the lawsuit, he demanded $1 billion as the least compensatory damages against Dangote and others for the alleged theft of his trade secrets.
Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, communication team of Dangote was yet to comment about the lawsuit.
