Plans are underway for the United States of America to return about $480m looted by the late maximum ruler, Gen Sani Abacha to Nigeria.
The money is alleged to have been stolen by Abacha during his time as Head of State.
The modalities for returning the loot are however yet to be fully determined.
The Nation reports that the planned repatriation is the result of a recent meeting between the Department of Justice and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN and the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu.
“This is the largest loot ever traced to a former Nigerian public officer in the US.
“The DOJ, the AGF and the EFCC have concluded all the talks; we are in the process of repatriation of the $480million.
“Although there are interventions from private lawyers, the DOJ prefers a government-to-government deal.
“ I can tell you that the funds will soon be repatriated. If there is anything left, it has to do with the conditions which the US will attach to the utilisation of the funds.
“The US is likely to advise on specific areas to spend the funds on and the project monitoring mechanisms. It does not want the cash re-looted.
“The Federal government and the U.S. on January 14, 2003 signed the Treaty on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters between the two nations. So, no corrupt public officers from Nigeria can hide in the US.
“At the session with AGF and the EFCC boss, they told the Nigerian team that the DOJ now has a Kleptocracy Unit which is closing tabs on Political Office Holders and other public officers in this country and many other nations.”

The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has dismissed reports that he donated N70m at last week's book launch of the wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Kingsley Fanwo, on Sunday, Gov Bello accused the opposition of turning politics to a comical adventure.
“The book launch was organised by the nation’s first lady to garner support for the families of the abducted Chibok girls which was attended by Governor Bello to lend support to the traumatised families of the girls. As a political leader and a parent, Governor Bello is touched by the plight of the girls and their families, hence the will to identify with the project.
“The book launch was televised to the whole world and no one announced what anyone donated. Governor Bello did not donate N70m as insinuated by the people who are turning opposition politics to a comical adventure,” he said.
