you are absolutely right; he's know about abacha loots , he's was part of it, he want the money be returned either ways cos his share will be given to him.

Imagine Buhari and his uselessness?

So they want to hand over the money to Abacha's partner in crime so they could reloot it and share among themselves

Money that belongs to all Nigerians .

Buhari is the most corrupt President in Nigerian history.

I won't be surprised if it is de facto president Abba kyari that even made the decision to appoint abacha's cronie as the recipient. Buhari is a total failure

GreyLaw:


You are the dame with him. Keep insulting him so that you can justify Buhari! Jonathan instituted a case of forfeiture against this same Bagudu in 2012. Now Buhari is claiming he cannot renege on the agreement of 2003.

Court rulings can be challenged. If this government is sincere they can challenge that agreement. If they fail then we agree they failed, but at least they tried. Imagine handing over $100m to a criminal!
This is simple mathematics! The government need money and if the ruling is to be challenged, when do you think that will be resolved? That's first question! Secondly, read the content again and least i forget, do you know how trustship works? US is just playing us! I do not think they are ready to let the money go

Yankee101:


You need to understand the origin of the agreement, remember he sent Mohd Abacha to prison.

An irrevocable trust is usually secret and only known to the owner and deed holders/offshore bankers. It's very hard to access the money without the owner's cooperation. For example Jeffrey Epstein moved his money to a trust in his brother's name before he died so it can be difficult for the people suing him to get much

So in order not to lose everything they had to go into that agreement so the money can come out. That act alone released hundreds of millions to the FG and led to Mohd's release and Bagudu signing off the monies. The usual thing to do now is charge him with new corruption charges and seize the money

That's wisdom. At least we got a lot of money from that deal. It's better than losing out totally.
Still, there should be a way of getting more funds out for the sake of the underprivileged in our society instead of giving it to one person.

It baffles me how anyone will be comfortable having so much of our commonwealth in the midst of abject poverty.

When did that start? Because it involves a crooked ally of his.

The United States is saying they will not support handing over that money to baguda regardless of court order.
That is the supreme support and international cover that buhari will ever need if he actually wants to do what is right.

Haha. So you think the US has time for your little games of immunity? I suggest you get serious. Once US lays embargo on that money, Nigeria might not be able to get it anymore. GEJ's govt in 2012 instituted proceedings against him. What has changed between 2012 and 2018 that they suddenly remember a certain 2003 agreement which he used then to escape jail. Ibori did something close to that and still ended up in jail.
Do you realize they wanted to share a part of the money with him? So if US had agreed to that and not ask for his prosecution, do you mean Buhari and co would not have collected the money and shared it with him? We need to get serious as a people except you're a beneficiary of this heist.

As a matter of fact, do you really think if OBJ was president and this happened, he would not remove him as governor either by hook or crook? Go ask Fayose and Alams how it went down
If these bastards are not careful, the US would put sanctions on everybody that had contact with that money.
Right from the president down to his personal cook.

Before Buhari Nigeria was sick with little possibilities of recovery but after Buhari there'd be no Nigeria. Of all the corrupt men who ever managed public offices in the world, Buhari is the worst. He knows not what to do yet believes he knows all to do. I'm not a prophet but I say with all boldness; the end of Nigeria is near

Animal like you will come to my mention to talk anyhow. GEJ instituted a proceeding against Bagudu in 2012, do you care to enlighten the forum how far the proceedings went before he left in 2015? Of course you won’t because nothing tangible to say.

You have the effrontery to ask me if OBJ was in power and this will happen? The same OBJ gave had a legal agreement with him which is why we are experiencing this now. He also came back to the country in 2003 and same OBJ didn’t prosecute him till he left office in 2007. Idiotic animal won’t ask OBJ why he didn’t prosecute him then but come here to talk rubbish. No wonder same OBJ said Nigerians youths like your type are not ready for governance because you don’t posses critical thinking, no question asked, just following bandwagon.

Plea bargain is the most unethical, unjust and absurd kind of punishment ever invented. Only class of looters enjoy it. It might interest you to know that America that introduced this approach no longer apply it. It entail compromising values and virtue for crumbs. If a corrupt person found guilty won't confess and show remorse for his act as he's being sanction let him keep back all his loot and let the state confiscate all he has and let him rot in jail. Even what his children has- if it can't proved to have being from a legitimate and verifiable source let it be forfeited also. If anything plea bargain expresses a nation's complacency and yieldedness to corruption not wisdom

I don't really understand what has led to the insults. I just called your attention to some facts and you resort to insults.

You made mention that OBJ wouldn’t have let him go and I reminded you that OBJ gave him the deal in contention and also allowed him to go. Don’t tell me you’re not aware of that but my annoyance is you referencing OBJ to me that he wouldn’t allow him go if he was the one in charge currently? What is your intention? Buhari did nothing rather than letting US know that there is judgment at hand which prompted them to keep the money for now. These Abacha loots comes out anytime when the custody country wants to release it so, you don’t expect the FG to institute a case against Bagudu and get favorable judgement immediately. So they have to employ delay tactics while they work on it back home here. Bagudu is not the only mule used to launder money by Abacha, there many of them and FG is dealing with each of them based on the legal agreement reached with them with OBJ administration. I’m not a Buhari supporter and I don’t like him. Check my comments history but when the government does something well, patriotism demands that we applaud them. This one is coming from US, some have come from Switzerland, UK, Jersey, etc and FG dealt with them separately.

I’m not a Buhari supporter but I want you to understand that when something like this comes, FG has to employ delay tactics while they clear the legal bottlenecks back home here before allowing the money to come in. Court judgement is not what you just go and get immediately, that’s why FG alerted US rhat there is an agreement with the mule with FG (obj in 2003) so, they have to delay the repatriation of the fund until they clear the bottleneck.
