Sani Abacha
The Federal Government has confirmed it has received $311.7 million
from the United State Government and the Bailiwick of Jersey as part of
the money looted by former Nigerian leader, Gen. Sani Abacha.
In a statement issued by special assistant on Media and Public
Relations, Dr Umar Gwandu, the recovery of the money popularly referred
to as ‘Abacha Loot 3’, was confirmed by the Attorney General of the
Federation, Abubakar Malami.
According to Malami, the amount increased significantly from over
$308 million mentioned in an earlier statement in February to over
$311million as a result of the interest that accrued from February 3 to
April 28, when the fund was transferred to the Central Bank of Nigeria.
