Gen Muhammadu Buhari , is blocking attempts to recover Abacha loot traced to Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu.
However, before he was handed over to criminal trial in Jersey, he quickly agreed to return $163m to Nigeria and was released on bond to Nigeria, where he was meant to be prosecuted for money laundering. According to the report, the disagreement may hamper future cooperation between Nigeria and the US to recover state money moved offshore by Abacha, whom Transparency International estimates may have looted as much as $5bn during his 1993-98 rule.
Successive Nigerian governments have sought to recoup the money looted by Abacha, who died in office, and have so far repatriated more than $2bn with the cooperation of other countries, according to US court filings. “Despite the forfeiture action being initiated following a Nigerian state request in 2012, Buhari’s government now says it can’t assist the US because it’s bound by a settlement Bagudu reached with the administration of then-President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2003, according to the court filings,” the report states.
Bagudu was able to return to Nigeria after concluding the settlement and was elected as a senator in 2009. Six years later, he was voted in as Kebbi’s governor in elections that brought Buhari and his party to power.
We salute any news coming from Nigeria. We are not surprised. We can only laugh
APC government wants to re-loot it. After they will be claiming that they are fighting corruption and their efcc wouldnt find anything now. APC government is only good at re-looting funds
Exactly why they're banning Nigeria. Corruption of the highest place.APC should be ashamed.
God bless America... Please keep the money, we don't need it now
Labi_bboy ITT
Nigeria leadership without exemption is one big criminal enterprise. A gang of crossbreed Kleptocrats. When it was convenient PDP had him as senator, until he found a willing bride in APC, who knew his murky coeruption-riddled background but looked the other way to make him gov.
What would APC Government going to do with said amount?.Obviously said money would go to some one account or few same politicians who are responsible for our misery and hardship.
You should have added 'due to Agreement by OBJ govt'
MrFixNigeria Why? That money is meant to be used for physical infrastructure project... APC fraud!
MrFixNigeria In 2015, I kept wondering how Buhari who was closest pals with Abacha could be the kind of incorruptible personae they claimed he was. His best friends are these thieves like Bagudu who plundered and looted Nigeria to stupor.
So much for corruption fight. Mr Magu, this one is more powerful than your coronavirous.
Buhari's war on corruption is fake
Buhari of the fighting corruption United is going to compensate his ankor man for the Election Waka he did for him, America 5-0 corruption United
'Buhari is the man we trust. This must be a lie.'
Nigeria is deeply bleeding and if not cared for hmmmmm. Federal Govt. Actions at times encourages corruption. All you got to do is to steal as much as you can then you negotiate to release some and keep the rest. What a form of fighting corruption. Plea bargain!!!
Am not surprise anyway 😏😏😏
Am not personally surprised if true, what happened to the ones collected before now? A country full of unhonest leaders who only cares about themselves & nothing more.
It does not matter what we say today. Nigeria is IN and only thing needed of us is how to come out.
This buhari is the biggest sham in history. Mr integrity trully indeed.😒
Massive corruption,Terrorism,incompetence,cluelessness,tyrannical et al all found in one person. Incredible!

So na so this man be.
Buhari and his APC thieves
As a nation, we ingested poison in 2015. 😷
Even USA get first hand information before we wey Dey live for here. Come can’t u people just share one of this man loot ni. Please use BVN. If u give us 1m each this money go still remain now
This country must surely divide oo
Buhari was virtual no 1 in the Abacha Cult; & Bagudu & Buhari's supporters/hailers worshipped at the Abacha Shrine of infamy, for Abacha was a god who could do no wrong! Now they're beneficiaries of Buhari's evil governance. What happened to loans? War on corruption is a fraud!
Nigeria can’t be mended, it has to be broken n restarted again
The man is now 58 years old. Helped Abacha loot lots of money around 1997 when he was just 35years of age.
It's a pity, one day they will all die and their children will waste this money in the most stupid way ever, then they will wail in their graves for not doing the right thing.
These people are evil. They came to steal,kill and destroy.
Been aware of the kind of government we have, we know they're capable of that...but speaking from a rational view, we need evidence to authenticate this... How did the US get to know? Is it through Satellite/GPS?😂
What's happening in this country vis-a-vis the present administration is utterly disturbing. How did we come this low ?
Nigeria is dead
Buhari is the bigest thief in Nigeria. Please realDonaldTrump USEmbassyAbuja don't release the money Buhari and his gangs are armed robber.
It is so disheartening how Nigeria has been recycling political criminals who keep looting the country resources.
For what na? To do what with it Kai!
Buhari DE Mr Integrity is fighting corruption.
Toilet Newspaper. Use it to wipe shit.
Chai there is Godoooo

This country has been totally messed up. I can't recall things being this bad since we returned to democracy!
FGN plan to pay, blocking US DoJ from investigating an accessory to Abacha loot. Bravo! This report would win at the next Oscar's.

Two extreme criminals!!!
Na so all them bad plans go they expose...😡😡
And this man claims he's fighting corruption. God will judge him o
Is this not the people you should place a life ban on and their families and even them relatives? Place a blanket ban on all of our Political class and relatives too. And Please, dnt give them that money, they will still steal it
Fact remains that almost all these politicians that are claiming anti corruption crusaders are criminals..if not at home, (because their party makes them saints), then abroad. Except for a few, if you dig deep, you'd find something incriminating. Tueh!!
iammcrain
This headline is misleading.... what are they exposing?
But our President said abacha did not loot rather saved the cash for Nigns, is the savings only for the gov’s?
Just one man ...this country is a mess
Give out a piece of paper and ask all these people making comments here to summerise wht they understand in this news report, u will see 94% scoring zero. Twitter sorry
Nigeria is a scam
When I thought it won't get worse.
Buhari wants to sponsor terrorism as usual
LocusBendi
One can't help but imagines the amount of money looted by other heads of state that would have been recovered if not that they refused to join Abacha
Na you people the eat our money
nja my country
100 million dollars? What?
Integrity ole
My Integrity 😭😭😭
God bless them
When we Nigerians realize that this is the greatest criminals that have ever govern Nigeria. I just read it in yahoo News I was very ashamed to call myself a Nigerian. Buhari is a big disaster
Okay... what’s our own? 🤷♂️
Tired of reading stuff like this. I want to be excused from this sort of news abeg. Ahhh!
Exposed them all
That's how they distribute Niger Delta money amongst themselves. Corruption fight ala Buhari
MBuhari Are you still fighting corruption? officialEFCC the toothless bulldog, are you still alive to your responsibilities?
Ole Barawo
I read your news because you are strong critique of this administration, I was so perturbed at the headline, now I have the full story. Please unite the country with objective reporting and not otherwise. So disappointed in
Don't forget that Buhari was part of the govtooo that looted this moneyooo, na the same people... He filed against Nigeria the moment Buhari became President because he knows that the case will go for his Favour. Thieves in Govt
Daniel_Ayanate My goodness, Thieves everywhere, How will anyone take Nigeria serious, How a thief is a governor, How was he cleared, Where is that officialEFCC

Thieves for ever.
If the cabals have taken the decision, nobody is going to stop them
Just read the content of the report and jusxtapose with headline, u will realize that is a junk newsdesk that should be sanctioned and banished in Nigeria God will punish the editor
Oh.... My Country My Country who has cursed you with this Man?
QuotedReplies
This one will not be newsworthy for your toiletpaper!
Fake news again. Send Abacha loot to Nigeria and stop all this excuses. If I owe you money, I should just pay you and stop complaining.
yommywindy America will know - GEJ
MBuhari wants to collude with AABagudu to reloot the looted funds. Buhari has no integrity, himself & his followers are celebrating a fabricated integrity. Pmb is corrupt, his govt stinks of corruption. Buhari is a colossal failure & a misfit. aishambuhari ProfOsinbajo
On a normal day, this thieving Bagudu should be in jail for the role he played in helping Abacha and himself loot Nigeria mercilessly. It just goes to show how insensitive this administration is to the issue of corruption.
Its a shame ...sad for this nation
budXcurious This has always been the drill💔...smh😥
BuhariOle
This northerners are wicked
Mr corruption fighter wants to reloot Abacha's loot. Lol 😆😆 😆
Mr.integrity
Chop I Chop association of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is how this administration is fighting corruption. This Government is a Joke.
This is Nigeria every be criminal
Mr fighting corruption😂😂
Propaganda can only take you to an extent. They entered power with it instead of dropping it they continued thinking that Nigerians and the world are fools. Some day they will die by it
officialEFCC are you seeing this?
Dear Nigerians this is an eye opener.
Why only APC Gov.?
Nigerians will have sense by force.
This all speaks of incompetency at its peak... For one single individual to be holding an entire federal government of a whole nation of millions of people to ransom on the government's own money is just unbelievable! This is painful, men!
Sai Baba and the impressive fight on corruption
The only time when this country will progress is that which the President after Elections belongs to No Party in critical sense.The looters ll never stay out of the rulling Gov't which serves as the second immunity after the constitutional one. That's how PMB fall along d line
Casted !!!
These people can never change, imagine planning to reloot $100million. Shameless people
Chxta AishaYesufu please note we are fighting corruption.

Oh my my! Na sooh?
Ihu
I expect FemAdesina and GarShehu to be on top of this news already.The onerous is on them to defend the anti-corruption and integrity mantra.
Bagudu an international convict now governor, buhari a repentant bokoharam.
This administration has stopped at nothing to drain and squeez life out of this country!!
Lobatan. Next neqs headline: PDP behind US allegation about APC sharing loot
I knew sth was wrong with the 'integrity ' of baba immediately when he publicly defended Abacha that he never stole from Nigeria! Something interesting abt thieves is that they shield one another.
Ok
Mr. Integrity my foot!
Shame of a country called Naija..
cchukudebelu Scammers in government
When GMB was asking UK to return Nigeria's money in their custody, we don't know baba was asking for Nigeria's money looted by a Nigerian looter, for him(the looter) and not for the government.... All hail Our saint President, Mr Integrity, the champion of Anti corruption and..
If it's like that, let the US keep the money USEmbassyAbuja
This is how we fight corruption
This country sha
Aloota continua
realDonaldTrump please see o, MBuhari has started again o with the recovered loot...
....as always
The stupid senseless punch journalists and board of editors don't ask question can even see if there is evidence. Was it not OBJ that signed the agreement that the money should go to Bagudu in 2003?
They also claimed FG blocked Evey efforts to prosecutes him on looted funds laundered through him.
Buhari is as corrupt as any other goverment in nigeria
All this Fulani Janjaweed are arch criminals and this are the reason the zoo will never see anything good.
Jesu.. Tats reloot and share wat kind of leaders are these?!!!🙆🏼🙆🏼🙆🏼🙆🏼
chinex1000 That's how they have been governing us all along. Poor Bagudu, just used him to bring out the portion they want to share. Thank you US. Help us expose the buccaneers that have been tormenting us since 2015 to the whole world. They are friends to UK.
False information
Med o!
Shame on you MBuhari
The owners and editors of this newspaper should be ashamed of themselves. A national newspaper that cannot stand for truth and report the truth is a disgrace

Femi and Lie over to you guys. Waiting patiently.
Oju Ole da ..! ?
They want another round of re-looting of the Abacha loot abi.
Anyone still believe in Buhari’s integrity cloak?
Ahhh.. Mr. Integrity,🙆♂️🙆♂️
quqie123 Mad o!

Foolish leaders
The only option for us is to split this country the north doesn't want any good for this country....smh
If this is true What are Bihari and Magu saying? This is CORRUPTION
I weep for my country.... These kind of stories has made me lost all hope in this country, wetin dey occur

Buhari's administration is hopeless. Integrity my foot.
This country is a joke
TheAkande Lol 😂

Integrity is only a word it doesn't mean anything in this part of the world.

The US we never learn, don't give this loot to politicians, just collect our Data from banks and share this money in 'ori o jori way'
Born to Rule doesn't mean you can rule. Buhari's rule has exposed the Northern agenda like never before! I'm ashamed! Tufiakwa
What a headline
realDonaldTrump show us proof

I'm expecting NGRPresident to deny it...

Criminal administration
Shame
See integrity's Godfather.😂😂😂😂 We have been scammed.
ayemojubar We r our own problems
We are fighting to survive here
US should ban the distributors and the beneficiaries.
Inclination to looting public fund and declination to public scrutiny How well can one relate a man whom the fairytale of how simplicity of life was projected to unbeknownst citizens but now fall flat to a ruse since the amalgamation?
This is a doom nation
Na today 😔
We've already seen enough of this administration . Shey na pple dey fight corruption b dz . ? The presidency should reply US , cos dz is defamation if this is lie ooooo cos I trust sai baba, na saint wey dey tk us to nxt lvl b dt

Nigerians really need to be grateful to President realDonaldTrump.
Arrrhhhhn Buhari!!!! You are a criminal, walahi!!!!
Homeleopard Have they given a reason as to why?
How did we get here self...ahhhh naija...God bless GEJ...stealing is not corruption
Am not surprised of the news
If true, this is another terrible feat of this Buhari regime or can I say Administration. US is trying to hold someone accountable and he’s been protected. But they claim to be fighting graft. Shame!
Wow! Terrible Country...
Next time someone asks where you’re from, tell them you’re from West Africa and mention your tribe, because the name Nigeria sounds appalling to most, either as a country of scammers or a country with most corrupt governmental practices. We celebrate thieves
9jaVoltron Ibrahim Mahama try loot Ghana and images and evidence shown
See headline.... Well-done I see the punch
The inflammatory headlines are entirely different from the content of the report!!! Repent, for the sake of posterity.
Do not mistake it as corruption. Corona virus is the agent carrier of corruption.

God have mercy
MBuhari is lighting kworuftion.
Mr integrity wants to pay his loyalty compensation allowance.This is one of the best way to fight corruption. Congratulations MBuhari.Is anyone surprised the same President said Abacha is a saint. realDonaldTrump realFFK CNNWorld PremiumTimesng
Only in Nigeria that people with criminal records and Associates of bokoharam are voted into power
The United States of America should not release any money again to this thief's and a Visa band should be place on everyone of them
Una go just post fake headline and some ignorant Nigerians go just comment like illiterate . Waiting conerm US with our internal affair . No country has right to interfere with our own affair . Fake news
This bubu is most corrupt being in this part of world, and idiots that has enabled all this years-ascribing all kind of name to him, like a man of integrity, are the most Brian dead.
Buhari and His Terrorist Cohorts Only Came To Inflick More Hardship, Insecurity And Corruption On Nigerians Shame on him and his useless supporters
Corruption and corrupt elements are in the ring exchanging blows, punching our commonwealth with hard hits. Will it survive this?
We have always known Buhari to be part of Abacha family. Not surprise
Mr integrity at it again
legendrichekwus here Bro, another reason to be very 'positive'
I only pity those who take Nigeria serious as fighting corruption. What do you guys expect from a president whose stand is that “Abacha did not steal any kobo”
We are truly fighting corruption
Hehehe I thought as much
Really? Mr integrity 🙆
MBuhari you are hypocrisy raised to power infinity.
This is astonishing and embarrassing for a government, brandishing fight against corruption as its achievement.
Buhari is a joke he and his useless people fucked us hardcore😠😠
The same Buhari who claimed Abacha never stole money is the same person who wants to re-loot the recovered funds. Buhari is the most disingenuous human to ever lived. And people claimed this idiot has integrity. Integrity and Buhari should NOT be in the same sentence.
Buhari has integrity like a stinking goat asked to watch over yams 😀
Tissue-paper at it AGAIN 👆😂
See them 🤡🤡
We aren’t surprised anymore
He is not only a scam and a sham, he is also corrupt...This country is going nowhere under this maniac
