The Nigerian government has reportedly reached an agreement with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to enable the extradition of corrupt officials hiding stolen funds in Dubai.

The bilateral agreement was signed today, January 19, 2016, according to a breaking news report by online platform, Sahara Reporters.
