Powerful Ex-Jonathan Aide, Kuku Arrested In Europe Over Child Pornography – Report

Kingsley Kuku, who served as Special Adviser on Niger Delta Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan has been arrested in Amsterdam, The Netherlands over child pornography complaints, Saharareporters deposed in a report.

Kuku who has been on exile since the advent of the Muhammadu Buhari administration was one of the most influential officeholders in the Jonathan administration who wielded influence through the money mobilized to his office.

“His warrant was executed over child pornography complaints. He was arrested on his way to London four days ago

“He has been fighting his extradition after his arrest at Schiphol. He was coming from Accra, Ghana with a layover at Schiphol.

“He reportedly circulated child pornography in 2018.”

Kuku was elected as member of Ondo State House of Assembly and became the Chairman of the House Committee for a period of four years.

In January 2011, he was appointed Special Adviser to former President Jonathan on the Niger Delta and Chairman, Niger Delta Presidential Amnesty Programme.

Jonathan reappointed him into the same position in July 2011 after the general elections in 2011.
