OKECHUKWU NNODIM, ALEXANDER OKERE, LESI NWISAGBO, SOLOMON ODENIYI and DEBORAH TOLU-KOLAWOLEThe Federal Government says it has begun gathering evidence on government officials linked to the alleged looting of $69bn stashed in various bank accounts in Texas, the United States.
In a January 2019 confidential memo to the Special Presidential Investigation Panel, FAIR said it could help the Federal Government recover the money if hired and compensated for its services. SPIP stated that FAIR assured that the $9bn allegedly stolen by Azazi could be recovered within three to five months.
Following the overwhelming evidence provided by the assets recovery company regarding the $9bn and their capacity to recover and return the fund, the SPIP explained that it decided to engage the American forensic experts on a face-to-face meeting scheduled for March 29, 2019. “To approve the presence of interface offices of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel in NNPC and the CBN. Your Excellency, the immediate recovery of the identified $9bn within the stated timeframe of 3-5 months will totally eliminate borrowing to fund the 2018 budget deficit and sustain the 2019 budget.”
However, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami , on Friday told one of our correspondents that the Federal Government had swung into action with the aim of getting adequate information on the $69bn loot allegedly hidden in American banks in Texas as well as the government officials involved.
Gwandu said the Buhari regime had the track record of repatriating stolen funds stashed in foreign accounts, saying it was one of the “visible and indelible” successes recorded by the regime. “You know the way NNPC is run, particularly on issues like this. We don’t have anything to say about it,” he stated.
Besides, as of the time of filing this report, efforts to get the reactions of the CBN, Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning had yet to yield positive results.However, civil rights organisations, including the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project and the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, have called on the Federal Government to conduct a thorough probe of the alleged $69bn loot in Texas banks.

Oga, expose them... Stop telling us stories.. all the once that has been exposed before.. what's happened to them.
If a figure as high as $69 billion were involved, why would a sane sovereign country employ the services of a private shaddy small firm to investigate and collect? FBI informed? What sort of sub-humans rule in Nigeria? This is a pure 419 report without merits for DramaQueens.
