The Government of Switzerland has disclosed that it had returned to the Nigerian government about $700m looted by late military Head of State, General Sani Abacha.
Switzerland Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Hans-Rudolf Hodel, made this known in Abuja recently at a press briefing ahead of a two-day seminar on Anti Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism.
The envoy asserted that the Swiss government was ready to reopen the case if Nigerian government presents concrete evidence of any other money still being held in any Swiss bank, noting that Switzerland had no interest in withholding illicit funds. He said his country had returned about $1.7bn to their countries of origin in the last 15 years.
“Switzerland and Nigeria agreed to request the World Bank to participate in the review of the use of funds, in the framework of a budget control process of various welfare projects,” he said.
He disclosed that his country was yet to receive any request for information on the November 4 Berne Declaration report: Swiss Traders Opaque Deals in Nigeria, which allegedly accused the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation of conniving with some Swiss-based oil firms of fraudulent deals, worth $6.8bn.
“I have no knowledge that we have been contacted by the authorities. In case they will start proceedings and they will need our help; of course, with international legal cooperation, we will help them if they approach us. But until now, they have not approached us,” he said.

CHECK MORE DEEPER THERE ARE A LOT MORE. $700M IS A CHOP CHANGE COMPARE TO WHAT HE STOLE AND STILL IN THE SAME SWISS BANK. WHAT ABOUT THE MONIES HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN STOLE AND STILL IN THE SAME SWISS BANK? WHAT ABOUT HIS INVESTMENTS AND OTHER MONIES IN THE SAME SWITZERLAND, THE UK, USA, SAUDI ARABIA, UAE AND MANY OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES.
DON'T LIE TO US, NIGERIANS ARE NOT BLIND AND WE ARE NOT STUPID, IF THAT IS WHAT YOU THINK, BELIEVE ME, WE ARE SMARTER.
THIS IS AN OFFICIAL FIGURE, WHAT ABOUT THE HIDDEN FIGURE? WHILE YOU ARE ON THAT, ALSO RETURN TO US THE MONIES BABANGIDA ALSO STOLE WITH HIS FAMILY AND STILL IN THE SAME SWISS BANK, AS WELL AS OBASANJO AND HIS TEAM OF CORRUPT OFFICIALS WHILE IN OFFICE.
THE PRESENT HEAD OF STATE AND THE BILLIONS HE AND HIS WIFE STASHED IN A CANADIAN, UK, SWISS AND AUSTRALIAN BANKS, AND ALSO HIS TEAM OF CORRUPT MINISTERS. NGOZI IWEALA AND DIEZANI MADUEKE. ALL THEIR CHILDREN BURNING NIGERIAN MONEY IN USA, THE UK AND SWITZERLAND ALL IN THE NAME OF THEIR PARENTS ARE IN POWER AND THEY USE NIGERIAN MONIES TO SPONSOR THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION OVERSEAS, BUT THEIR WICKED MOTHERS DON'T WANT TO PAY INNOCENT LECTURERS GOOD SALARIES AND INCREASE IN SALARIES, AND INNOCENT NIGERIAN STUDENTS HAVE BEEN SITTING AT HOME FOR ALMOST A YEAR. BASED ON SITTING AT HOME, WHY WOULDN’T THERE BE CRIME IN NIGERIAN? WHEN A STUDENT IS IDLE IT AFFECTS THEIR BRAIN AND THEY TAKE TO CRIMES BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT NEGLECT.
GOVERNORS, COMMISSIONERS, CBN OFFICIALS, SENATORS AND TOP GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS STEAL NIGERIAN MONIES EVERY SECOND AND DUMP IN OVERSEAS BANKS. SO, TELLING US THAT ABACHA'S STOLEN MONEY WAS RETURNED, DOESN'T EXCITE ANYONE. PURE AND SIMPLE.

Thank you Bros for this.While they are doing the returning,can the United Nations bring out some appropriate punishment for countries that allow stolen monies to be stored in their banks,because the custodian of a stolen item is also a thief.

MY DEAR BROTHER, ALL OF THEM THERE IN THE UN, AU, EU, US AND THE UK, THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE SAME HYPOCRISY. THEY EVEN PREFER CORRUPT NIGERIAN POLITICIANS TO KEEP STEALING MONIES AND DUMPING IN THEIR COUNTRIES.
BUT, I BELIEVE THAT, ONE GLORIOUS DAY, GOD WILL APPOINT A LEADER TO LEAD NIGERIA TOWARDS THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND BRING EVERY CORRUPT NIGERIAN TO OPEN JUSTICE, AND GOD WILL BE WITH THAT LEADER UNTIL THE END OF TIME TO RULE NIGERIA.
