Speaking to journalists after meeting Nigerian foreign Minister Geoffrey Onyeama, the baroness said it was "a matter of great pride to us in the Commonwealth that we have been able to assist Nigeria in getting its money back".  The haul was "more money than it has got back in the past ten years".  At around twice the country's entire education budget, the $3bn would indeed be something to trumpet.

Alas, Baroness Scotland did not have time to explain how the Commonwealth had achieved this remarkable feat, nor where the figure came from.
