US Lawmakers Order Probe Into Alleged Bribery Of Nigeria's Former Pres Jonathan by obasanjonews(m): 6:49am On May 10
The United States House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services has requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) to reopen the investigation into Shell and Eni's 2011 acquisition of the rights to Oil Prospecting Licence (OPL) 245 in Nigeria. Allegations suggest that both companies were involved in bribing Nigerian government officials, including former President Goodluck Jonathan, with $1.1 billion.

The lawmakers have pointed out that evidence indicates Shell and Eni's involvement in a bribery scheme that led to the payment of $1.1 billion to Nigerian officials, including then President Goodluck Jonathan. Both companies, registered with the US Security and Exchange Commission, are accused of profiting from the deal in violation of the Foreign Corruption Practice Act (FCPA).

Additionally, it has been highlighted that Victor Oko Jumbo, Sokari Goodboy, and Adolphus Timothy, who were suspended in October last year, have not had their suspensions lifted yet.

Bribed but it didn't cause suffering! Buhari looted and the consequences is far worse. Finally, we already know that all our presidents are bribed by the white companies in order to keep our refineries dormant until Dangote built his own, which they tried to suppress as well by forcing him to buy crude from the US when we have it in abundance here.
