Abubakar Malami (SAN), the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, has refused to come out clean on a certain $370 million being part of the loot traced to former Head of State, Sani Abacha, in United Kingdom, which was returned to the country around December 2018.

SaharaReporters obtained official correspondences between the defunct Special Presidential Investigation Panel headed by Okoi Obono-Obla, and the UK in December 2018, confirming that the money would be repatriated to the country.

SaharaReporters gathered that Malami, however, at a stage asked Obono-Obla to hands off the repatriation process, and it remained so until the panel was later dissolved by the Presidency.

The then SPIP Chairman, Obono-Obla, had in December 2018, written to the Central Bank of Nigeria, requesting a domiciliary account to be opened for the recovery for the $370 million from the state of Jersey in the UK.

The correspondence was addressed to the CBN Director, Banking and Payments System Department, on December 18, 2018.
