Controversy has emerged over the $500 million recovered from the late Gen. Sani Abacha’s family as report indicates that the money was diverted.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is said to be probing the location of the money which was recovered from the family of the late Head of State during ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
The cash, report says, was repatriated from slush accounts of Abacha in foreign banks after hard negotiations by the Federal government.
Indication have emerged that the $500 million was diverted.
According to the Nation, “Of the $500 million, about $250 million was released to the Office of National Security Adviser (ONSA) during the tenure of Col. Sambo Dasuki without appropriation. The balance of $250 million cannot be traced yet’’.
The sum of $250 million was illegally withdrawn barely two months to the end of Jonathan’s administration in 2015.
