Category: Nigeria News
The US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mrs. Mary Beth Leonard, who signed the Asset Return Agreement with the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, at the Federal Ministry of Justice headquarters in Abuja on Thursday, stressed that the returned loot should be used to improve healthcare infrastructure in Bayelsa state.
The Attorney-General of Bayelsa state, Mr. Biriyai Dambo, SAN, was equally present at the official handover ceremony of the recovered loot.
In her speech, the US Ambassador said her country would continue to deny safe heaven to corrupt public officials.
She disclosed that over 80 corrupt leaders where last year, denied entry into the US.
On his part, Malami, whose speech was read by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Justice, Mrs. Beatrice Jeddy-Agba, commended the US government for ensuring that looted funds are returned to Nigeria.
The AGF noted that Nigeria has continued to enjoy favourable consideration from the US, not only in its agreement to return the funds that were looted from the Bayelsa state treasury, “but in other pending cases such as Galactica, Blue Assets, Saborne, amongst others”.
Windfall for Bayelsa .....I don't mean the ordinary people.....if you know, you know 🤣
ReplyDeleteWow, another our bayelsa father in heaven is equally paying heavily
ReplyDeleteDSP...the Governor General. A man so deeply loved and followed by Niger Deltans.
ReplyDeleteBut personal character flaw hindered him from leading them to best of times and seasons.
Frail is the nature of men unless the humbly accept the help of God and walk uprightly in the hallow of gods!
Rest on Alams.
My problem with treatment of Nigerian looters rest on the fact that there's no equal treatment. Some like Obasanjo, IBB, Atiku are deliberately allowed to enjoy their loots while others are punished. May the soul of Alams continue to hurt Obasanjo...
