The Federal Government moved a notch
higher in its anti-graft war last night with a
confirmation that it was launching a
comprehensive probe into the controversial
Halliburton bribery case in which top Nigerian
politicians received huge bribes in the region
of N66 billion.
The bribes were taken by top players in
government between 1994 and 1998 from five
major companies that were awarded $6 billion
for the construction of gas trains in Bonny
Island in Rivers State for the Nigerian
Liquefied Gas Company, NLNG.
Under the fresh probe being ordered by the
Buhari administration and unlike in the past,
the key players in the Nigerian Government
who demanded and collected the huge sums
of money and those who offered the bribes,
are to be fished out and prosecuted.
Vanguard also learnt that the Federal
Government is keen on determining if indeed
the sum of $200 million said to have been
paid by the five companies who were indicted
over the scam, was indeed remitted into the
purse of the government.
The fresh enquiry will also ascertain why five
senior Nigerian lawyers who negotiated with
the indicted multinational firms to escape
prosecution in Nigeria and paid the $200
million fines, collected close to $12 million as
'legal fees' from the fines
