Report surfaced yesterday, January 11, that the government of Switzerland had concluded plans to transfer the sum of $300 million recovered from the family of former military dictator, General Sani Abacha to the Nigerian government.
The fund to be transferred is said to be part of an estimated $5 billion stolen and kept in foreign accounts by late Abacha.
The country has in the past 10 years reportedly received over $1 billion from the Swiss and American governments and these recovered funds have been trailed with controversy as past administrations have been accused of misappropriating the fund.
Following report of the loot that would be returned, Abacha is now trending on Twitter, with some Nigerians thanking him for saving the money for the country. Some said the former military dictator did not still the money but only saved it for the future.
Read Nigerians reactions below:
The difference between Dasuki and Abacha is this:
Abacha kept money in his account, while Dasuki just wasted it. Let’s
thank God for Abacha.

we should be thankful to Abacha. Ogbeni was saving money for Nigeria’s rainy days when he looted that much.

Abacha was not corrupt. He just had the foresight to establish a savings account for the Federation. ππ
