Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, says he believes the late ex-Head of State Sani Abacha’s family have sympathisers in the Muhammadu Buhari government.
General Abacha, who ruled Nigeria between 1993 and 1998, stole millions of dollars from the treasury.
He said someone must have given Mohammed the confidence that the courts could be used to get the oil block back. “Under President Jonathan, they never came out boldly to assert any claim. But under the Buhari government, they feel so comfortable to make such an audacious claim, even going on to file a suit.The ex-minister said he gave Mohammed hell in the battle to recover the public funds looted by the Abacha family.
“State institutions were clearly working for them, with the help of those who felt I had stepped on their toes one way or the other when I was the Attorney General. The ‘witch-hunters’ are having a ball.”
