Abacha never looted nigerias money says al mustapha

I think there may be some misinformation here.

Al Mustapha, a former aide-de-camp to the late General Sani Abacha, has been quoted as saying that Abacha did not loot Nigeria's money. However, this claim is widely disputed and contradicts numerous investigations, reports, and findings by various organizations and governments.

General Sani Abacha's regime (1993-1998) was marked by widespread corruption, and his death in 1998 led to the discovery of massive corruption and embezzlement of public funds. The Abacha loot, estimated to be around $5 billion, was stashed away in foreign accounts and other secret locations.

The Nigerian government, international organizations, and anti-corruption agencies have all confirmed that Abacha looted Nigeria's money. In 2000, the Nigerian government set up the Abacha Loot Recovery Committee to investigate and recover the stolen funds. The committee's report concluded that Abacha and his associates looted over $5 billion from the country's treasury.

In 2014, the Nigerian government and the Swiss government signed an agreement to recover $321 million of the Abacha loot, which was frozen in Swiss bank accounts. Similarly, in 2017, the Nigerian government recovered $250 million of the loot from the United States.

It's important to note that Al Mustapha's claim is not supported by credible evidence and is likely an attempt to defend his former boss or downplay the extent of the corruption during Abacha's regime.

In conclusion, while Al Mustapha may have made this claim, the overwhelming evidence suggests that General Sani Abacha did indeed loot Nigeria's money, and the country is still working to recover the stolen funds.
