Wikileaks: FG negotiators pocketed $600m of Abacha loot

* Bola Ige objected to deal with Abacha’s son

The final details of the recent recovery of N6.18bn loot from the family of the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, by the Federal Government last week, September 3, 2011, off an Island near Normandy in France, has been laid bare by the tell-tale website, Wikileaks.

The whistle blower, in its latest expose on Nigeria, said that Damien Dodo (SAN) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) Secretary, Emmanuel Akonmaye, were alleged to be among the delegation that negotiated for the release of the money to Nigeria. The loot was said to have been hidden away through the assistance of a Lebanese living in Nigeria. Applauding the new recovery, Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, wrote a letter of commendation to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Bello Adoke, encouraging him to help locate more of Abacha’s loot in other parts of the world.

It will be recalled the role played by Okonjo- Iweala in earlier recoveries of Abacha’s loot. She was instrumental to the repatriation of over $600m stashed away by the Abacha family in Switzerland during her first stint as minister under the former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration. But a recent Wikileaks cable release indicated that the amount recovered was much more than the announced $600m. The amount was put in excess of $1.2bn.

According to the confidential wire sent to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) by Ambassador Howard F. Jeter, the then United States of America Ambassador to Nigeria, on the recovery process, he expressed concern over what appeared an ongoing negotiation between the late Sani Abacha’s son (Mohammed) and the representatives of the Nigerian government. Representing the Nigerian government in the deal agreement was the then Attorney General, Godwin Kanu Agabi and representing the Abachas were a Sokoto politician and former presidential aspirant, Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi; Muhammad Kaloma Ali and Nigeria’s one-time UN Permanent Representative, Yusuff Maitama Sule.

The Ambassador quoted the younger brother of Abacha, Kabiru as having told him that the negotiators wanted a commission out of the $1.2bn and Mohammed Abacha was unwilling “to part with any money.” Mohammed Abacha, who was locked up in prison at the time was offered $300m out of the $1.2bn, which he turned down. The deal was, however, allegedly renegotiated, thereby allowing Mohammed Abacha to keep $500m out of the “recovered” $1.2bn.

The negotiators were alleged to have been settled for their efforts. The then Vice-President Abubakar Atiku, was also allegedly responsible for signing the agreement between the Abacha family and Nigeria. The agreement included insulating “the Abachas from any future liability for past actions and to permit them to participate fully in the political process.” The expose also disclosed that when the late Chief Bola Ige succeeded Agabi at the Ministry of Justice in mid-2000, he chose not to implement the agreement. Denied bail after his alleged indictment for the murder in Lagos State, Mohammed Abacha was left to languish in jail.

So Bola Ige was gone in a few after that.

Could this be the reason why people believed the parties mentioned in the last paragraph were responsible for his death 

* Bola Ige objected to deal with Abacha’s son

That's why they murdered him

The loot was said to have been hidden away through the assistance of a Lebanese living in Nigeria.

And these Arabs are busy raping our women in Libya while looting our country.

But a recent Wikileaks cable release indicated that the amount recovered was much more than the announced $600m. The amount was put in excess of $1.2bn.

I was surprised to hear $600M then too, I knew Abacha could do better than that.

My brother, there are "r/ap/ist/s" and there are "r/a/pi/s/ts"

That is the same kind of agreement we are about to sign with BOKO HARAM people.

In Nigeria, if you are evil, corrupt and brutal enough, you will "make it" just keep trying.
