We reported earlier that according to PREMIUM Times, former Nigeria's Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who co-owned a luxurious mansion with his fourth wife, Jennifer Douglas, in the posh neighbourhood of Potomac, Maryland, United States, was auctioned.

 

It was learnt that the 7-bedroom cream-coloured single family brick house on 9731 Sorrel Ave, Potomac, Maryland, was originally listed for $3.25 million on Zillow and other online real estate websites on January 25, 2018 but was eventually sold for a pending offer of $2.95 million on February 26, 2018 after an online auction.

The Atikus’ mansion is a colonial-style building that sits in the middle of a 2.3 acres premises of lush green trees. The mansion has a total of 21 rooms, multiple terraces which are said to be ideal for outdoor parties, a pool sauna, a gazebo, a gourmet kitchen and an outdoor swimming pool.

 

The property gained international notoriety in 2005 after it was searched by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in connection with a bribery scandal involving disgraced former U.S. Congressman, William Jefferson.

 

 

Sources with knowledge of the state of the mansion but who requested not to be named because they did not want to be publicly associated with this story, said the Atikus had not lived in the mansion since he left office as vice president in 2007.

 

 

The source added that some house service staff lived in the mansion for some years, but the place was later locked up, and had remained unoccupied.
