Some principal officials and members of the Nigerian Consulate in Atlanta, United States, have been accused of several corrupt practices and gross misconducts, according to multiples sources who spoke with SaharaReporters. The corruption had been allegedly going on for years before the arrival of the new and present Consular-General, Amina Smaila. SaharaReporters further gathered that some old officials at the consulate were making efforts to work against Smaila. One of the sources told SaharaReporters that the old rogues at the Consulate had devised all schemes and would go any length to make sure that the new Consular-General did not succeed at her job. The source made an appeal to the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Nigerian government to investigate the corruption that had crippled the Consular Office in Atlanta, US. "This place is really stinking of corruption, and it has to be sanitised. We can't continue like this. It has to stop," the source told SaharaReporters.
