Date:2008-06-05 All Abacha loot returned, says Swiss government From Dele Anofi and John Ofikhenua, Abuja The government of Switzerland yesterday said it had returned all stolen money stashed away in Swiss banks by former Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha. By implication, the celebrated Abacha loot that has been touted as part of the funds to lubricate the drive towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals is exhausted. The Charge D’Affaires of the Embassy of Switzerland in Nigeria, Fabio Baiardi, told journalists in Abuja that his home government had lodged the last tranche of the loot in a ‘blocked account’ in Nigeria. He said all the funds were returned with no conditions. According to him, the total loot returned by the Swiss government is $505million (N59.085 billion). Of this amount, the first instalment of $290million (N33.93billion) was transferred on September 1, 2005; the second instalment of $168million (N19.7billion) on December 19, 2005; and $40million (N4.68billion) at the end of January 2006. The last instalment of $7million (N812million), he said, was transferred into a ‘blocked account’ in Nigeria because the Swiss government could not identify its origin. The money is still in the ‘blocked account.’ Baiardi assured that Switzerland would continue to collaborate with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in its fight against corruption and money laundering. But he said his country had no say in how Nigeria uses the recovered loot; the Swiss government only contributed financially to its monitoring after it had requested that the World Bank include some Nigerian civil societies in the exercise, he added. "We cannot be responsible for what happens in Nigeria, but we wholly support the EFCC’s fight against corruption and money laundering," Baiardi stated. The recovered money is part of an estimated $3billion of public funds believed to have been stored up by the late dictator in banks in Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Britain and Luxembourg; in addition to 12 banks in Switzerland. Nigeria, in 1999, asked Switzerland to help track the financial network suspected to have been laid out by the late Abacha. In response, the Swiss authorities froze some $670million in bank accounts belonging to the former Head of State; his son, Mohammed; his widow, Mariam and some associates. At some point in the hunt for the loot, the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo was reported to have struck a deal with the Abacha family to return a sizeable portion of the loot while keeping the rest. At a press briefing in September 2006 to launch a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the World Bank, under a new initiative called the Stolen Asset Recovery (STAR), former Finance Minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said in Washington that Nigeria has recovered a total of $505.5million of the Abacha loot from Swiss authorities.

anonimi: Here you go... Published: May 22, 2013 General Mohammadu Buhari has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to provide an aircraft to fly members of the Boko Haram Sect to Aso Rock for negotiation just like late President Umaru Yar’Adua did to the Niger Delta Militants prior to the Amnesty program. General Buhari who also kicked against the emergency rule imposed in Borno, Yobe and Admamawa said President Goodluck Jonathan should resign from office for his inability to tackle the security challenges facing the country. “Jonathan should vacate and give way to competent hand to govern the country”, he said. http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/buhari-asks-jonathan-to-resign/ 2 Likes |
