Approximately $5 billion in Abacha loot was recovered by the administrations of Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, and Muhammadu Buhari. The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the disclosure of the spending information.
The government of President Bola Tinubu was mandated by the court to make public the sums that General Sani Abacha stole from Nigeria.
Additionally, it stated that the public should be informed of all agreements signed by the administrations of former presidents Obasanjo, Yar’Adua, Jonathan, and Buhari, as well as the total amount of Abacha loot recovered.
This decision was made by Justice James Kolawole Omotosho in response to a Freedom of Information lawsuit brought by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP).
The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Finance, is hereby ordered to provide SERAP with the full spending details of approximately $5 billion in Abacha loot within seven days of this judgement, Justice Omotosho said in reading the judgement. “In the final analysis, the application by SERAP is meritorious,” she said.
