Switzerland to return $380million Abacha loot to Nigeria

The Swiss government has concluded plans to return $380 million to Nigeria, which is part of money stashed in Swiss banks by former dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha while he was in power.

Geneva prosecutors said today Tuesday March 17th that they ordered the money seized in Luxembourg starting in 2006 & was officially confiscated last year following an agreement between Nigeria and the Abacha family under which FG dropped its case against Abacha's son, Abba Abacha.

Switzerland has previously returned to Nigeria more than $700 million that Abacha stashed in Swiss accounts. If the Swiss government makes this new cash return, it would bring the total amount of Abacha's loot returned so far to $1.080 billion.

And Buhari said Abacha did not steal Nigeria's money. Yet he is the agent of Change and all the youths follow him blindly. I think i can categorically say that this country called Nigeria needs to be recolonized. What a shame.

And what has our Govt done with the $700m returned? And what will they do with the $300m ? The Swizz govt better hold on tight to it, or confiscate it longer, instead of returning it back into the hands of our greedy politicians. That money can go a long way in helping our turbines (better electricity)

I'd say that they (Switzerland) hold unto that cash till well past the Nigerian elections. The speed at which it's raining dollars on a particular Presidential candidate's campaign trail these days, this money is sure to grow wings and vamoose without a trace. For once let money recovered from Abacha end up in our national coffers where it rightly belongs.

Oooh God. Let them wait and return it during (Buhari's administration). Jona govt go share am finish. What did they do with the first quater that given ????

Yet Buhari said Abacha was not corrupt. I wonder the kind of corruption Buhari will fight if voted into power. His allies will loot billions same way they did when he was PTF chairman,yet he will not notice it. This time will be worse because he has the king of corruption(Tinubu) sponsoring his campaigns. Tinubu will buy the whole of Nigeria if APC wins,but thank God APC will never win because their evil intention is too much for Nigerians to bear. GEJ till 2019!!!

@APC/BUHARI, ABACHA DID NOT STEAL ANY MONEY NEITHER WAS HE CORRUPT BECAUSE HE MADE HIM/BUHARI CHAIRMAN OF PTF. SELECTED JUSTICE AS ALWAYS. DRIVER CAUSE ACCIDENT BUHARI JAIL CONDUCTOR. AND HE IS THE CHANGED DICTATOR AND NO MORE A TRBALIST BUT A DETRIBALISED NIGERIAN MY ASS. NIGERIANS KNOW BETTER THAN ALL THIS PACKAGING ANYWAY. SHAMELESS DICTATOR, LIAR, TRIBALIST WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIED IN A SANE SOCIETY FOR HIS ATROCITIES AGAINST THE STATE OF NIGERIA AND FOR OVERTHROWING A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT. RATHER WHAT WE HAVE IS THE SAME MAN TRYING TO DISRUPT OUR YOUNG DEMOCRACY AGAIN THROUGH APC PACKAGING. BEFORE THE AIT THE LION OF BOURDILON DOCUMENTARY. HE WILL JAIL ALL CORRUPT POLITICIANS, AFTER THE AIT DOCUMENTARY, NOW IS ANY CORRUPTION FROM 1999-MAY 29TH THIS YEAR WILL NOT BE INVESTIGATED BUT ANY CORRUPTION FROM MAY 29TH WILL HAVE HIM TO CONTEST WITH. THE MAN WITH NO STAND IN THE WHOLE OF NIGERIAN POLITICS. BUHARI WORSE THAN CORRUPT.

And some useless northerners will be opening their mouth to tell us that GEJ brought hardship on Nigerians, as at 17yrs back when abacha was alive, how many Nigerian has N1billion let alone $1billion dollar possed by just a single man as at 2008. To me that's the height of madness, greed and callousness by a man who cares less for his fellow country men.

Can you imagine.... lets do the calculation, They say we have a population of about 120 million nigerians... lets say the money is being shared amongst all ... each person will get a million dollar each and it will still go round thrice making 3 million dollars each and still remain. Do you khow how a million dollar can change our lives forever. And this so called selfish, bastard politicians says they don't want change cos of their greed to keep on with the embezzlement so as to enslave us all... God punish you all and you all will end up like Abacha. some of our so called leaders have much more than that in their possession... Na Abacha own dem go dey clamour around about. Thieves.
