Most of the recovered loots are on temporary forfeiture awaiting legal conclusion. in lay mans term they are frozen funds even govt cant touch it until it is legal to do so. The govt are trying to establish a special court to fast track the process.

bros if anybody has any record of pmb corruption why cant they make it public? with the so much hate flying u should start wondering why arent any evidence of corruption against MR PMB available. The truth is they only hate him coz he aint like them and he aint gonna allow them treat nigerian resources as personal.


2019 is the final battle of the control of the soul of nigeria. The greatest battle of all time

CBN Governor is trying his best. That man was never at fault so don't blame him. This only dropped because Buhari withdrew so much money to appease the senators and placate members from leaving APC which was utter failure.

you ask me what's my source?
A wise man said when a which cries out at night and a baby dies in the morning waste not your time looking for the cause of death.
But it's funny that the old man sees no corruption in that.
That's why I keep saying that in Nigria it's those in power that defines the meaning of corruption and not the dictionary.

Italian investigators: Jonathan, Diezani got $466m bribe in Malabu oil deal

Goodluck Jonathan, former Nigerian president, and Diezani Alison-Madueke, immediate past petroleum minister, were allegedly given bribes in the $1.3 billion deal involving ENI and Royal Dutch Shell.

Jonathan, Alison-Madueke, and other government officials benefitted from a sum of $466m which was converted into naira, Italian prosecutors say.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, a report by AFP claims that Jonathan and Diezani were prominent figures in the deal, which saw ENI and Shell make a $1.3 billion payment in 2011 for an offshore oil block in Nigeria.

Court documents filed December 2016 in Milan outline a case against 11 people, including senior executives from Eni and Shell as well as the companies themselves.

Claudio Descalzi, ENI chief executive and his predecessor Paolo Scaroni, were said to have met with Jonathan to thrash out the deal “in person”.

The prosecutors allege that ENI and Shell executives worked with Dan Etete, the oil minister during the military administration of Sani Abacha.

According to the court documents, Etete’s company, Malabu Oil & Gas, was the “fraudulent holder” of the OPL 245 block.

The block was illegally acquired by the oil companies in contravention of domestic laws, “without competitive tendering” and with “full, unconditional exemption from all national taxes”, prosecutors said.

$801.5 million was allegedly transferred to Etete’s Malabu accounts while $54 million was said to have been withdrawn by Abubakar Aliyu, who was described as an “agent” of Jonathan.

The prosecutors added that beneficiaries of the money went on a shopping spree buying “property, aeroplanes, armoured cars”.

Both multinational oil companies have denied any wrongdoing.

“We are aware of the investigation and we hope to show the prosecutor that there is no basis to prosecute Shell. Shell takes this matter seriously and is co-operating with the authorities,” Shell said in an email to AFP.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was reported to have recently pressed charges in connection with the same oil block deal.

Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesman, was quoted to have told AFP that charges were “filed towards the end of last year”.

Alison-Madueke was only last week compelled by a federal high court in Lagos to temporary forfeit $153 million that was allegedly stolen from state coffers.

In 2015, she was arrested by Britain’s National Crime Agency on suspicion of bribery and money laundering.
