Catriona Laing Says Looted Funds Are Not Welcomed In The United Kingdom by Emmadoc: 1:44am On Mar 10, 2021
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ms Catriona Laing, sent a message to Nigerian glutton and ghoul politicians in the country stating that, ill-gotten money are not welcomed in the united kingdom.

Laing, made this statement on tuesday, during the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the united kingdom and Nigeria for the refund of former Gov. James Ibori’s confiscated assets in the UK at the Ministry of Justice.

She further said, the MoU will return over £4.2million pounds recovered from the associates and families of james ibori to the Nigerian government.

“The return of these assets to Nigeria has been subjected to a number of hard-fought legal challenges by third parties which were defeated in the UK courts.We will make sure the full weight of law agencies is mete upon those who come to hide their illegal proceed of crime in the UK.

On February 2012, James Ibori pleaded guilty in high court in UK to money laundering, conspiracy to defraud, and forgery and was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Some of his cohorts and family members also received similar sentences for fraudulent act.

The Commissioner said that transparent asset recovery is a top priority for both UK and Nigeria governments.

“It is essential that this agreement makes strong provision for transparency, monitoring and accountability.

”She further stated; it is an upright principle for both the United kingdom and the Nigerian government, that stolen assets should be used for projects that benefit Nigeria’s poor”, she stated.

Abubakar Malami, SAN, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, said the federal government is committed to ensuring the transparent management of all recovered assets.

“The returned assets will assist in expediting the construction of three major infrastructure projects across Nigeria.

Too late.....


When we have a government with correct head, the UK government should confiscate all assets of anyone with political exposure in Nigeria, sell the assets and return our money back........

They mean well but the problem here is when the stolen funds are repatriated, they get missing again or get stashed in one secret building on full AC complete with standby generator and security details cry

Classic example is the Ikoyi recovery

I see Britain as Nigeria politically.
What they say to the news and camera is different from what they do.

If they're true, let them stop shielding Nigerian politicians

It's better if they keep that money and use it fund scholarships for Nigerian professionals, who would be bonded to serve for a few years within the civil service to pay back the debt.

Sending it back into the clutches of people like Malami is just counterproductive

What is the different when the LOOTERS ARE WELCOME AND WELL STAYING? Why not verifying their financial worthy through appropriate body in Nigeria before allowing them acquiring properties in London?

UK is more corrupt than even this country... Europe had enjoyed and are still enjoying Africa's wealth.. Trying to save face tinz..

Nnamdi kanu is gradually bringing Britain to her senses. Britain is an accomplice to the evil we are facing in Nigeria. Every evil has a reward that i know.
