SERAP stated this on Saturday in a two-part tweet in response to a statement by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , that close to $1bn was “stolen under a previous, undemocratic junta in the 1990s”.
Buhari, in an article published in Newsweek, a United States-based magazine, expressed appreciation to the “friendly nations” that returned the stolen funds.Although the President did not mention Abacha by name, it was apparent he was referring to the deceased dictator. In his article, the retired major general stated that the country could move forward with road, rail and power station construction, “partly under own resources, thanks to close to $1bn of funds stolen from the people of Nigeria under a previous, undemocratic junta in the 1990s that have now been returned to our country from the US, UK and Switzerland”.
Reacting, SERAP urged Buhari to provide further clarification on the statement and “publish spending details on recovered assets by governments since 1999”.BREAKING: In response to reported statement by President Buhari that former dictator Abacha ‘stole close to $1bn’; we wish to say that Abacha stole far more than $1bn.DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
Nigerians need unreserved apology from our President for not admitting the fact that Abacha is a thief. What take evil to thrive is when we fail to condemned it.
I doubt if at all the President will believe that the same Man that he eulogised and described as a saint was a great/ smartest looter
had Abacha being alive today would he have being returning these £billions$ money? this is just the question for idiots justifying Abacha never stole! awon asiwere cattle rearer jatijati!
Abacha..... Why? Why? U took that huge money to foreign accounts for your selfish reasons. Isn't this unthinkable? After so many years of your demise, your loots are found in different countries of the world... It's so sad.... This Abacha had no fear of God or love4 the masses.
Hmmm so what u go do how many people stole more than $1b but nothing happen to them just Nigeria na Nigeria do what u want to do that is better fast
jeffphilips1 can you see how confused your buhari is. How can his supporters not be more confused than their clueless master. He doesn't even know the actual amount stolen by abacha. Shame! 😒
Haaaaaa a ogun de Ole gbe, Ole gba
But Mr. President called Abacha the best President... At this point PMB needs to clarify his stand on Abacha.... Note that, part of the money stoled by Abacha was deeply involved PMB!

How much did Obasanjo and Babangida steal?
But MBuhari said Abacha didn't loot any money.
Follow me first, I'll follow back immediately
SERAPNigeria You don't mean it. You can't be telling this to Buhari. Abacha is a saint. He never stole a penny please. Don't be misguided by the recoveries of Abacha assets
Babangida should be held responsible for foisting Abacha on Nigeria. Both are the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria
