“The funds returned last week are distinct and separate from an additional $167m in stolen assets also forfeited in the United Kingdom and France, as well as $152m still in active litigation in the United Kingdom.”
United States Embassy in Nigeria has announced that another $319m Sani Abacha, former Nigeria military dictator, loot is in the United Kingdom and France.
“The funds returned last week are distinct and separate from an additional $167m in stolen assets also forfeited in the United Kingdom and France, as well as $152m still in active litigation in the United Kingdom,” the embassy said in a statement on Wednesday. It is unclear if the $152m litigation in the United Kingdom is the same with $152m being challenged by the UK and the US in a UK court.
