Throwback:USA Accuses Buhari & Malami Of Hindering Effort To Recover Abacha Loot by Nobody: 11:27pm On Jul 11, 2021
The United States is opposing plans by Nigeria to give $100 million from loots recovered from former Nigeria military dictator Sani Abacha to Kebbi State governor Atiku Bagudu.

US Department of Justice said Bagudu was involved in corruption with the late Abacha who Transparency International (TI) said may have looted as much as $5 billion during his 1993-98 rule in Nigeria.

DoJ also contends that the Nigerian government is hindering U.S. efforts to recover allegedly laundered money it said was traced to Bagudu, Bloomberg reported on Friday.


DoJ said in a statement earlier in the month that Bagudu with Abacha and Abacha’s son Mohammed Sani Abacha “embezzled, misappropriated and extorted billions from the government of Nigeria and others, then laundered their criminal proceeds through U.S. financial institutions and the purchase of bonds backed by the United States.”

“The United States has asked the government of Nigeria to withdraw litigation it has instituted in the UK that hinders the U.S. effort to recover these additional funds for the people of Nigeria,” DoJ said in February 2020.

According to the Bloomberg report, the Nigerian government said there is a 17-year-old agreement that entitles Bagudu to the funds and prevents Nigeria from assisting the U.S., according to recent filings from the District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington.

“This case illustrates how complex and contentious repatriating stolen assets to Nigeria can be,” said Matthew Page, an associate fellow at London-based Chatham House and former Nigeria expert for U.S. intelligence agencies.

“Instead of welcoming U.S. efforts, Nigeria’s lawyers appear to be supporting the interests of one of the country’s most powerful families.”

Prior to this, Nigerian governments have sought to recoup the money looted by Abacha, who died in office, and have so far repatriated more than $2 billion with the cooperation of other countries, according to U.S. court filings.

In the case involving Bagudu, the U.S. in 2013 initiated a forfeiture action against a host of assets, including four investment portfolios held in London in trust for him and his family, according to the district court filings.

So governor Atiku Bagudu have long been associated with the corruption of the Abacha years? Check out those involved in running down the Nigerian Airways too.They are all APC members.

A fact is that the foundational pipework of any corrupt act by all who have now shielded themselves within this corrupt regime have been laid a long time before they even came into government.Yet when you hear them talk about corruption, one may be tempted to think they just dropped from heaven.

Buhari and Attorney General, Malami openly campaigned for Bagudu and bribe taker Ganduje. Corruption was legalized when they came to power.

I telling you sir.The conman simply legalized corruption.This Gandollar case was the highest hight of insult Buhari the so called anti-corruption czar will forever insult the sensibility of Nigeria with.Guy just proved the sanctimonious hypocrite he can ever be.

"...Buhari, who later won the presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress had consistently accused the then ruling party, the PDP of engaging in mind-boggling corrupt practices.“If Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria," Buhari had said repeatedly during the build-up to the 2015 general elections.

However, no sooner had he been declared winner than some politicians from the same corrupt party began defecting to the President’s own party. While some of the allegedly corrupt persons were kept at arm’s length, others became very close to the President, constantly appearing in pictures with the professed anti-corruption champion and sending mixed signals to Nigerians.

Is US or US Department of Justice a human being?

Or is it the London-based Matthew Page that now represents US Department of Justice?

Look at the ipob liars, removing the context of the thread just to help their pdthives chances.

First Obasanjo signed an agreement which guaranteed payment of $100m to bagudu.

This thread is a pathetic attempt to repackage lies.

Your entire thread of tribalism and hate is based on lies and distortions. Your fantastically corrupt part negotiated to give Bagudu $100M that is the story you are so desperately trying to cover. The biggest mistake APC made in dealing with PDP was easing off their parade of stealing, looting, pillaging and destruction. That story must be told a million times over because it layed the foundation for every destructive value we are battling today.

Your useless mannequin and cow and herdmens lover campaigned for Bagudu that helped Abacha launder billions of dollars and Ganduje who was caught on tape accepting $5 million dollars in bribes.
