August 3, 2015 – President Muhammadu Buhari has said that investigations will reveal countries and banks that have aided and abetted oil thieves who stole billions from Nigeria.
Buhari made the revelation while addressing a delegation of US congressmen during a courtesy call at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He said the US is cooperating with the government to achieve this goal.
“We are getting cooperation from the international community, including information on ships that take crude oil from Nigeria and change direction, or pour their contents into other ships mid-stream. Some monies were paid to individual accounts.
“We’re identifying the financial institutions and countries that are involved. I have been assured that when we get all our documents together, the United States and other countries will treat our case with sympathy”, the President said.
