President Muhammadu Buhari is concluding agreements to retrieve funds looted from Nigeria and stored in US banks.

This was disclosed by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Friday, November 18.

“As we speak, President Buhari is concluding agreements with the U.S. to return our stolen money in their banks. A FGN account has already been given for the return of one million Dollars from Alamisiegha,” Shehu said via Twitter.

“Judgement on the USD 480 million Abacha loot has been won and our Attorney-General, Malami (SAN) will be in the US next week to speak to the Department of Justice, USDOJ on the next steps for the return of that as well. The U.S is paying to Nigeria, not the other way round, abi?" he added.

Shehu was responding to claims that Buhari donated $500 million to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.
