There were indications that the UK Police may invoke the Mutual Legal Assistance to seek the extradition of Mohammed Sanni, who is allegedly linked to the probe.

Gen. Orumov:

There are thieves everywhere in this country irrespective of region. And to lecture you, the Minister for Petroleum during Abacha's regime was Dan Etete, who is from the South South and currently embroiled in controversy regarding a dubiously awarded oil bloc. The problem with this country is not from any region but from individuals who are criminal minded.

Sagamite:

You are a person!

First of all, there is nothing like "minister of petroleum trust fund" in Nigeria, cretin.

Secondly, we have minister of petroleum. And the minister of petroleum under Abacha was called Dan Etete.

Dan Etete, I can guarantee you is not from Sokoto. ...........Maybe he is from "Jigawa", I am not sure.

Dan Etete is a convicted criminal that sold himself (under a false name) an oil block for $2m while he was minister of petroleum.

When he tried to sell it on years later and the major oil companies refuse to pay him because they knew it was a false name and it would be illegal in Nigeria to engage in such a transaction and they might be jailed in their own countries. Guess what happened and who stepped in?

It is a man from "Kano" called Goodluck Jonathan who helped negotiate and collect the money ($1.1bn) for the convicted criminal and helped him rob Nigeria. And Goodluck Jonathan is a president o! He used Nigeria government as a middleman to complete the transaction so as to achieve 2 things:

1) The oil companies officials can conclude the transaction without fear of jail because they can claim they dealt with Nigerian government and whatever corruption takes place after that is not their business.

2) Convicted criminal Dan Etete can get his loot of $1.1bn that he stole from Nigeria for $2m while breaking the law.

honeric01: How much was Nigeria making yearly between 1995-1998? Abacha must have stolen 1999-2013 Nigerian earnings in advance too.

chidindufrank: Minister of petroleum trust fund was General Mohamadu Buhari. Dan Etebete was minister of petroleum. Please go back to your history class

chidindufrank: Your brain is empty

emmysenior:

Really? Perhaps you should stop talking like a kid.

It's just that OBJ has got mercenaries who covers for him, maybe for now, else I see no difference between the duo in terms of looting.

James Ibori, Gbenga Daniels, Ohakim, Lucky Igbinedion etc.

Pls grow up and stop giving vultures (Western world and USA) ways to fuel the hate between the divides of Nigeria.

We've got more problems already, at least bokoharam is a pain in the a55.


Sharaaaap!

GenBuhari: Gbam!
current looters are using Abacha's name to deflect attention from their own massive ongoing looting.
Ignorant Nigerians that lack ability to think critically are believing it.
Abet what links Abacha to travelers cheques that someone tried to cash 15 years after Abacha's death?

Sagamite:

Cretinous person!

Yes, it is a conspiracy against Abacha by some imaginery people that you picked out from your critically thinking arsse.

Sagamite:



You are a person!

What is "minister of petroleum trust fund"? In which country?

And you are the person telling someone to go back to history class?

Cretinous product of a failed education system.

IBB Threatens to Expose Buhari's Corruption
Written by Nigeria Newsday Tuesday, 07 May 2013 20:10

Former President Ibrahim Babangida has threatened to expose the corruption of Former President
Mohammed Buhari especially as relates to his tenure as Minister of Petroleum.

Buhari was appointed Minister of Petroleum in 1976 under the Murtala/Obasanjo administration. Not much is known about any scandals that occured during his tenure as Minister, but there are rumors of the mysterious disappearance of US$2.8 Billion from the NNPC account in Midlands Bank in the United Kingdom, during Buhari’s stewardship.

Now that IBB has threatened to expose him, it lends a certain credibility to the rumors indicting Buhari of grand graft.

Babangida who released a statement through his media adviser, Prince Kassim Afegbua said, “On Gen. Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are conversant with Gen. Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude.

“He is a one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his tenure as minister. Secondly, he also presided over the Petroleum Trust Fund ( PTF) which records we also have. We challenge him to come out with clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or, we will help him to expose his. “records of performance during those periods. Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones. Gen. Buhari should be properly guided.” Help your empty skull

GenBuhari: Explain how Abacha's is linked to those travelers cheques

eGuerrilla:

You don't know Abacha's regime was largely characterised by contract fraud?

kelvinklient: I wish u can understand that Racial abuse is a
big crime. Why calling westerners vultures on
a social network like this? So bad

yunglykmine: Abacha really drained this country.. Nigeria is one of the richest nations but Corruption has eaten so deep into our blood that the money meant for development are being diverted into personal use. May God help Nigeria & Nigerians.
