We frequently hear the term "Abacha Loot", but it is obviously a media term to refer to an unfair malicious allegation against Abacha.

Abacha was never charged to court and convicted of looting.

Why are we not talking of Obasanjo Loot?
Saraki Loot,
Jonathan Loot?
Babangida Loot?
FFK Loot?
Dasuki Loot?

The media not being unfair by telling you facts you dont like. If the information presented was untrue the Abacha family is free to sue for damages. I dont think they will since they have dirty hands.

The loot is connected to Sani Abacha. One story from premium times reveals his son's name was on one the accounts. He wasn't charged to court because he had his dictatorial immunity. As you know the government not going try a deadman. The media doesn't talk about their loots because the money repatriated wasnt stolen by them.

Abacha Loot if not proven in court is a mere media conviction.

There is a global conspiracy to discredit Abacha with 22years of seemingly endless "audio" repatriation so called "Abacha loot" that is not even upto $1bn according to those falsely and maliciously accusing him.
A phantom repartriation of loot that has never been confirmed to have arrived in Nigeria's treasury coffers over a 22years period.

Whilst Nigerians are bamboozled frequent reports about a relatively tiny "audio" so called Abacha Loot of less than $1bn (according to Abacha's dishonest accusers). Abacha that died 22years ago.

$16bn that Obasajo made disappear before our very eyes is seemingly forgotten.

$20bn that Jonathan acknowledged had disappeared from our treasury is no longer news.

$1trn (N400trn) Malabu Oil block that Obasanjo gave away to thieving International Oil Company Shell and Agip is seemingly unimportant.

My fellow country people we are being played!

It cannot be considered facts unless proven in a court of law of competent jurisdiction, until then it can only be considered an allegation.
Re: Abacha was never Convicted Of Looting by Nobody: 8:11am On Feb 05, 2020
Nigerians please lets get sense !
Abacha ruled for 4.5years until he was mysteriously poisoned in 1998 approx 22years ago and his successor immediately accused him of having loot abroad and started seeking recovery yet today 22years later not up to $1bn have been traced abroad and even the millions they claim to have traced have not been received.

True reason for this is because Abacha was not a looter.

Abacha ruled when oil prices were average $12 per barrell .
Yet Abacha refused all offers of IMf and World bank loans of the same USA claiming to hold his loot.

But when US imposed sanctions on Abacha regime, they never mention any loot of his or freezing it..
Please let us get sense, how could he have looted?

The country was under economic sanctions from same nations claiming to hold his loot yet they never accused him of having stashed his loot in their country at the time.

Thief Obasanjo who was chasing Abacha loot which is a phrase he coined, since beginning of his 8 year reign in 1999 could not recover a single verifiable dollar into Nigeria treasury.

The same Obasanjo who made $16bn he collected from our treasury in order give light, vanish !
Obasanjo who sold off any of the country's assets he could with nothing to show for it leaving a paltry $50bn reserves. At a time of record high oil prices.
Please let us get sense, how could Abacha have looted?

Abacha despite $12 per barell oil and dealing with sanctions imposed on us, funded Nigeria's role as regional power intervening and stabilising conflicts in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Abacha funded our sports so well we won 2 0lympic gold's and African Nations cups in what was undisputably the greatest sporting era of our history.

Abacha never talked of fuel subsidy despite holding fuel at N13 per litre and when he raised the fuel price by N6 he never called it subsidy removal, He used the additional revenue to setup and fund Petroleum Trust Fund and made Buhari it's chairman for maintaining and improving infrastructure .

Please let us get sense, how could he have looted?

Do you need a court of law to tell you that water is wet?

Crimes are committed daily with majority of which go unnoticed and unpunished. Does that mean no crime was committed because it never got to court?

Or is an armed robber only declared so until he is arrested and convicted?

You are absolutely right. I keep asking myself, could Abacha has stolen more than IBB, Obasanjo or Jonathan? I think this Abacha so called is a game the government use to play a bigger dance behind us.

You want to convict a deadman? This shows your thinking or reading your replies. He can only be sued in civil court. The fact the case was won by Nigeria who claimed he stole proves he's a theif.

U.S. Forfeits Over $480 Million Stolen by Former Nigerian Dictator in Largest Forfeiture Ever Obtained Through a Kleptocracy Action

The complaint alleges that General Abacha, his son Mohammed Sani Abacha, their associate Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and others embezzled, misappropriated and extorted billions of dollars 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 judgment is the result of a civil forfeiture complaint the department filed in November 2013 against more than $625 million in the largest kleptocracy forfeiture action brought in the department’s history. The forfeiture judgment includes approximately $303 million in two bank accounts in the Bailiwick of Jersey, $144 million in two bank accounts in France, and three bank accounts in the United Kingdom and Ireland with an expected value of at least $27 million. The ultimate disposition of the funds will follow the execution of the judgment in each of these jurisdictions. Claims to an additional approximately $148 million in four investment portfolios in the United Kingdom are pending.

As alleged in the complaint, General Abacha and others systematically embezzled billions of dollars in public funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria on the false pretense that the funds were necessary for national security. The conspirators withdrew the funds in cash and then moved the money overseas through U.S. financial institutions. General Abacha and his finance minister also allegedly caused the government of Nigeria to purchase Nigerian government bonds at vastly inflated prices from a company controlled by Bagudu and Mohammed Abacha, generating an illegal windfall of more than $282 million. In addition, General Abacha and his associates allegedly extorted more than $11 million from a French company and its Nigerian affiliate in connection with payments on government contracts. Funds involved in each of these schemes were allegedly laundered through the United States.
