How much more will they recover from the Abachas? How greedy can a human being be? The man just kept stealing, looting and stashing.
Some years ago, when Nigeria recovered some money from the Abachas, the wife of the late Head of State, Maryam Abacha said that no matter how much they recover from them, they can never be as poor as Dangote. Such sarcasm?
However, the statement was ignored as many felt she was trying to be sarcastic because she was pained. How wrong?
In June 2014, $227 million was returned to Nigeria from Liechtenstein and on the 17th of March, 2015, the Swiss government concluded plans to return $380 million to Nigeria which is part of the money stashed in Swiss bank by the former dictator.
Switzerland has previously returned $700 million that Abacha stashed in diverse Swiss accounts. If the Swiss government did fulfill their promise on the 2015 cash return, It would bring the total amount of Abacha's loot returned from Switzerland to $1.080 billion.
Imagine what 1.080 billion dollars would have done to Nigeria's economy. Such great greed!
