He added that the company had an office in India.
Instantly recognisable with his pink hair and nose ring, Christopher Wylie claims to have helped create data analysis company Cambridge Analytica before turning whistleblower and becoming "the face" of the crisis engulfing Facebook. Wylie said that AIQ distributed "incredibly anti-Islamic and threatening messages portraying Muslims as violent" - including videos of violent executions - during the Nigerian election, in order to turn voters against Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim who at the time was challenging incumbent Goodluck Jonathan.
Christopher Wylie revealed Cambridge Analytica (CA) harvested details of 50 million users on the social networking site.
A scandal engulfing Facebook over the use of its data by political consultants widened on Tuesday when a whistleblower said Canadian company AggregateIQ had developed a programme to target Republican voters in the 2016 US election. "But they do have offices there, they do have staff", he said.
But election rigging was not particularly profitable, so, Wiley said, Cambridge Analytica made its real money by introducing top government officials to African businessmen in what he dubbed a "privatized colonizing operation".
Earlier this month, an investigative reporter from Britain's Channel 4 asked Black Cube and Cambridge Analytica about the connection between them. It also said it "always operate within the boundaries of the law in every jurisdiction it operates".

Leader of alleged cult that ensnared Vancouver woman appears in court
A victim claimed she was branded with Raniere's initials and blackmailed by the group in a New York Times expose earlier in March. After authorities took him into custody on a USA warrant, investigators said the women got into a high-speed vehicle chase.
The firm went on to deny it had any links to Cambridge Analytica or any of its subsidiaries, and has never worked in Nigeria. The statement added that Black Cube was "flattered that we are seemingly being connected with every global incident that occurs", and vowed to investigate Wylie's claims further.
On March 24, Silvester said in a statement on the firm's website that it's "100 percent Canadian owned", and has never been a part of Cambridge Analytica.
The revelations around Facebook data have hammered the stock price of the world's biggest social network and raised investor concerns that any failure by big tech companies to protect privacy could deter advertisers and lead to tougher regulation.
Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix is so cartoonishly rich he allegedly once left a meeting to "pick up a £200,000 chandelier", whistleblower Christopher Wylie told United Kingdom parliament during a Tuesday hearing.
Ripon, the Wisconsin town where the Republican Party was founded in 1854, was the name given to a tool that let a campaign manage its voter database, target specific voters, conduct canvassing, manage fundraising and carry out surveys.
Cambridge Analytica said it subcontracted some digital marketing and software development to AggregateIQ in 2014 and 2015. "The nation demands an answer!" he wrote on Twitter.
