The United States is opposing plans by the Nigerian Government to hand over about $100m stolen by late military Head of State, Sani Abacha, to Kebbi State governor, Abubakar Bagudu.
Buhari’s administration says a 17-year-old agreement entitles Bagudu to the funds and prevents Nigeria from assisting the U.S., according to recent filings from the District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington. Neither Bagudu nor a spokesperson for Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, responded to requests for comment.

Six years later, he was voted in as Kebbi’s governor in elections that brought Buhari and his party to power.
