Over £200m stolen from Nigeria still stashed in the US -Malami

The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, says the Federal Government has over £200 million to recover in the United States.

According to him, the Nigerian government is embarking on a massive recovery of assets belonging to the country.

He was quoted as saying this on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Malami said, “We are looking at the possibility of recovering further 200m pounds among others but then, that does not mean they are not other associated assets being pursued, in terms of other countries of the world inclusive of Ireland. The government is trying to gather international momentum associated with the processes and procedures, in terms of making things easier for countries to recover assets with ease.”
