By who?

Three kinds of criminals(thieves) you can see anywhere:1.those that commit the crimes 2.those that deny it ever happened or try to(help) cover it up 3 and those that try to minimize its gravity by understating the crime committed.They're all in cahoot and deserve equal reproach.

Stolen under Abacha or you stole d funds under d dead man using his name 🙄🙄🙄😏😏😏?

And are working tirelessly hard to achieve your own target

I can see

Authority stealing 🎶🎶🎶🎷

And under ur watch?

Abacha de primary 1 for looting but some already de PhD for looting

Sinzu wbu?

And how much una don cash out from the money already... And how much una don reloot again bayiii 😎😎

We are talking of$5billion and this man who is never aware of anything is talking of close to $1billion

It’s more than that according to SERAP findings. Who is deceiving who ?

Stolen by abacha or stolen under Abacha. Integrity is getting new definition. Integrity means saying the truth at all times. But integrity in Nigeria is saying truth at some time

Stolen by ABACHA, this sinzu money man..

Oya talk you own

We'll find out how much was stolen under the incumbent administration in a few years...

What about the ones that happened right under your watch ?

I thought the guy invested it on our behalf.

No comment

So Mr P......, ARE U TRYING TO MEET THE TARGET or BREAK THE RECORD! 😩

Yet....'Abacha didn't steal' - Buhari

So how much have you stolen old fool?

QThe same man PMB absolved of looting Nigeria during his term. This country one day will rise above all this nonsense.

You have no idea how much is stolen under your nose, wait fes, leave office.

Why feeding Nigerians with misleading information Have you reviewed your previous publications 15 years back regarding the funds tied to Abacha?

He should say: Abacha stole close to $1bn.

Stolen under Abacha or stolen by Abacha.?

Apparently abacha loot was made possible by the petroleum minister. Fellowship of looters. That's why he said it's up to $1b. Anyways, our president said abacha did not still. Please am still thinking of something. No disturbances needed.

PMB was part of The Abacha regime

The president should get his stories right now

what of you

If abacha stole close to a billion dollar and then you recovered some of the money now tell us your plan of stealing yours cos after this administration of yours Nigerians will know how much you have stolen..

And you served him well, as no 1 in his cult, & many of those in govt today, were dutiful worshippers at the Abacha Shrine of infamy, for he was a god who could do no wrong! And the Hailers, actually marched & danced for Abacha!

Then how much you Buhari thief?

A government he was a part of and according to the article, could not specifically name. Either for fear of indicating self, or offending the Abacha family.

Why buhari happens to be the petroleum trust fund chairman under abacha

Stolen by Abacha or under Abacha?

I'll follow everyone that likes this comment while following you make sure u follow back immediately to avoid unfollow

U Sabi lie

And close to how many $billion stole under you?

Or Abacha stole over $1billion?

Start posthumous trial of Abacha, the people and financial institutions that facilitated the the stealing. START NOW. SERAP to take it up.

You were appointed by, and worked under Abacha. That makes you a co-conspirator

Let be clear about it, is it stolen under Abacha or stolen by Abacha?.

Crazy

Thought u said he wasn't corrupt Sir.

But you were the chairman of the petroleum task force then?

This, to me, is similar to 5 stages of grief. First denial, next anger & we're now at bargaining. It'll be followed by depression & finally acceptance. The idea that we will settle for $1 billion is wrong. It's far more than that. But since we're at bargaining stage, no wahala.

Werey.. sebi the same man said abacha never stole... Orisirisi... They think we dumb or what

Under? Shame cos U were also under

And how much have been stolen under you MBuhari ?

beautiful lier trying to defend his late boss, sometimes he do think we are fool like him and thats why he keep denying what we already know years ago, president with cow 🐮 brain 🧠

Is this not the same buhari who said there was no stolen funds under abacha? Now he's admitting about 2 billion. That means it's so much more!

Close to $1trillion

Time shall tell us how much was stolen in your time.

U dey among

mr president why must you dwell on the past. Move on man

This one is always blaming ppl. The whole world know , we know. Oga go work abegi. Argh...smh

😎! So lay out what you will do with it. Can you state how much is being stolen today or can you minimize what is being stolen in your government?

Wetin u want make we do to this useless info now

What should we do about it

Under Abacha abi by Abacha ,nawah ooo

This Abacha loot, are u sure u are not using this guy name as excuse cause he dead.

SodiqTade MBuhari Did Abacha steal any money?

We can still account for Abacha’s stolen money but how much can we account for under your administration?

now we understand the word abacha didn't steal,Then who are those that stole the money under abacha? Give names, you see their life, smh 🚶🚶 🚶🚶 🚶

MBuhari That’s the reason you’re stealing yours now abi... to surpass abacha

Na recover and borrow we dey hear, sometime ago una say una nor know how must was stolen, now una don know say na close to $1bn. Una dey try to tell us say the Abacha money don finish or una don recover all of Dem, abi una don tire to recover?

How much have you 'borrowed' so far? How much 'loans' have you received so far?

He stole more than that.

Which of the Abacha? The same Abacha you once said you don't care what Nigerians think, all you know he was not a thief, you and him focused on infrastructural development all through you people's regime.

Oh Abacha i pity your soul, your colleagues don't let your soul rest in peace

Politics, same monies that have since been repatriated to foreign countries. Abeg make una no dey disturb us. would do Nigerians great service if you can investigate what the so-called Abacha loot was used for

Tells this man to calm down and let all this people send all the money before he comes to conclusion

Thought you said abacha didn't steal any money

But we don borrow pax dat dz year . When will politicians stop all dz blame game

BUHARI WAS ABACHA LOOT COURIER WHILE IN PTF AS CHAIRMAN.

Who told u, Abacha is not corrupt

What about buhari

The funny thing about this declaration is that it tries to peg or reduce the amount stolen to $1b, when we all know it is more than that. 😳😳

Even if you failed to mention the name because of your position on the matter before now Nigerians know who you are referring to. Your lies has been exposed before now,a very conning man full of lies.

Awon oleh!

Abacha did not steal the money all by himself. He was aided: by the banks, civil servants, and personal assistants. These people should be tried and jailed accordingly... I am asking you, mbuhari to give us justice against looters of our common wealth!

Why are you telling us this? Do you want to steal your own?

But you've stole more than that

Real Buhari once said Abacha is not corrupt, now unfortunate Buhari just change the topic. Fake Nigeria

This is fake news. Abacha never stole.

TopRadio909 Shabi this same Buhari said Abacha never looted or stole from Nigeria chai omo God is really patient in heaven.

It was by Abacha

I thought he said sometime ago that Abacha was a virgin

My friend will you keep quiet..over 80something is missing and unaccounted for by you.5yrsOfDisaster

Again PUNCH giving the Fake news! Buhari never mention that Abacha stole close to $1bn.

Buhari once said Abacha never stole. .. nawa oo

This tenure is even worse

Stolen or saved for future use?

Please go after him..the fight against corruption should be total..

Now the question should be the so called stolen money wht r u guys using it for. How come u r seeking for another loan Why can't the so called stolen money be used for whatever issues the country face. Need more to all dem figures But than again who are we to get answers?😔

He didn't say Abacha stole oo. I hope we can read 's caption well.

I thought this baga said Abacha never stole.. ode

This man is a confused man. Many years ago he said Abacha never stole today Abacha stole $1b is he not ashamed of himself for contradicting himself?. That is why a Carmel would pass through the eye of the needle but not a politician. Bunch of liars and deceivers

It is nauseating to hear you comment on theft that went on during Gen. Abacha's regime. PTF was the nations warehouse then and you were the store keeper.

UNDER Abacha or BY Abacha

Same person you MBuhari told us never stole?

I thought uncle buhari said abacha never stole any money.. Baba's brain is working backward

Under him or by him?

How much has been stolen under MBuhari? We are lucky we are still getting Abacha's loot back but for this administration, we may never recover.

But more than 1 billion has been recovered na 1998 : $750m 2000: $64m 2002: $1.2bn 2003: $160m 2003: $88m 2005: $461m 2006: $44m 2014: $227m 2017: $322m 2019: £211m 2020: $311m + $319m

TopRadio909 Tired of reading anything that comes under buhari 😏😏😏

Impossicant. Buhari won't say that as that will amount to self indictment. He has always maintained that Abacha is innocent

So all this is what? Or you feel 2002 and 2012 is nothing? 😭😭😭😭

I wonder when all is done and dusted how many $bns stolen under Buhari will be recovered.

By Abacha, say it you won’t die.

Tot u said abacha did not steal money 🤔

Hafa, shey someone said the money was for special savings Maro2Longe jnrpori7 EzaKome adedayo_mustaph

Chief looter for the Abacha government finally speaks out

All the abacha returned looted funds u received, What did you do with it. Five years of your maladminstration of ineptitude , you have nothing to show for it as achievements with Nigeria's resources much more d abacha loot. You're a shameless president, Hide ya face😒

I hope it's not the same Abacha u have been singing praises of that is a Saint without a corruption record to his name?

This from the same man that had once said the late Abacha didn't steal Nigeria's money. Anyway, their popular mantra is CHANGE. They are prone to change

Baba Buhari He no steal before Now e don steal Baba arugbo

$1billion, this one pass davido money

But you did he never stole... all of una Dey the same group

Abacha no get face?

Like seriously, and how much has been looted under you

Who are the people under Abacha?

Oil was the major revenue. If Abacha stole then the person in charge of PTF did what?

This Yeye Man Again

I thought PMB said Abacha didn't stole any money? I'm confuse

Wasn't he the same buhari that said abacha never stole a dime? Please follow me and I will follow you back immediately, I mean immediately

Close to $1bn stolen under Buhari - Abacha

I'm sure over $10bn have been stolen under you

But he never stole

Wetin Dem don recover never pass $1b , I no understand our government again o

This is not possible, the same white as snow Abacha?

it is more.

Punch please what is the correct story here, UNDER or BY? If you mean UNDER, that means people that served with him e.g Buhari (Minister for money source). Please make us understand

But you once said Abacha never stole

Thought you said Abacha wasn't a thief? Maybe it was his crew dah stole the money without his consent

Lol very funny, $1b is an understatement because abacha stole more than $100b dollars. His wife once said their family can never be as poor as dangote.

Say what?

More has been stolen under the close watch of PMB.

Laugh wanna kee me 😂😂 pot calling kettle black 😂

The tale of an armed robber and a pen robber!

Mr President sir!

So who is that behind Abacha?

But the same man said Abacha is not a thief.

This man just keeps talking nonsense 😏

And more that have been vandalized and squandered by this government

$1b? OK. If adjusted for inflation, from $1 = ₦22 to $1 = ₦460, this is approximately $21b! Damn!

You sef wan run loot your own..

More has been stolen under your watch currently...

Abacha stole money abi, but you na to dey borrow borrow you sabi. All the recovered loots that has been brought in from the beginning of your administration till now, baba weytin happen to dem?

Then the money must be almost 100bn dollars.

So he finally agreed that Abacha stole?

Yes, that's true. Over $1bn borrowed by Buhari' s administration without any meaningful thing done with it . dunnia33 is it not so?

I will not talk but Olorun Wa sha

An you were in the cabinet nah!!! Petroleum something.

Same man that's says Abacha didn't steal a few years back. I fear the double standard of our leaders. They have already skinned the nation to the bone. They desire to go further, and vandalised the common wealth of this nation. .

They have stolen more under you...

How much have you stolen, Mr Bubu? abi Jubril.

How about under your stewardship

Wen u leave Abacha loot will be child’s play, cos you’re the general overseer of the thieves gang. U just too bad Sinzu money 💰

This mara pass anyone honestly lol

Buhari is part of pple that stole the money. Incompetent ruler

Ah yes. And the funds were parked in Abacha's accounts without his knowledge. He is innocent in all these. This is the handwork of detractors who wanted to bismirch the late dictator's legacy. 😀

But Abacha did not stole any money please don’t dirty his name .

Ehen... And they've recovered more than that... Nice calculator
