Senator Shehu Sanni Lamented :over $200 billion dollars Nigerian stolen money is in Dubai



Over $200 billion that was stolen from Nigeria is
now in the United Arab Emirate country of Dubai,
Senator Shehu Sanni has said.

The chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign and
Domestic Debts, as well as Vice Chairman, Senate
Committee on Foreign Affairs noted that some of
the money have been used to purchase exotic cars
and posh houses.

Sani revealed this when women supporters from his
political ward paid him a solidarity visit at one of
his campaign offices in Kaduna.

President Muhammadu Buhari, last week in UAE,
signed a “Judicial Agreements on Extradition,
Transfer of Sentenced Persons, Mutual Legal
Assistance on Criminal Matters, and Mutual Legal
Assistance on Criminal and Commercial Matters,
which includes the recovery and repatriation of
stolen wealth.

He said: “Corrupt Nigerians have stashed
unbelievable amount of monies in Dubai alone in
the name of estates acquisition, purchase of exotic
houses and business partnership in the last 16
years. Some have stashed raw cash. This is why
the US, and Europe are making conditions for
laundering of money into their countries very
difficult.

“These crooks have now found it conducive to use
the Middle East and South East Asia as their
destinations. They use names of their cronies,
family members and friends to siphon public funds
out of Nigeria.

“Some of them are APC members, who had their
political upbringing in the then ruling Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP.

“Sooner than later those who are parading
themselves as Buhari’s friends, but are corrupt, will
be interrogated, prosecuted because the President
does not know friend or relation as far as the fight
against corruption is concerned.”

“It was based on the information on the quantity
and quality of the assets of corrupt Nigerians, that
President Buhari had to sign that agreement with
UAE at Abu Dhabi. I can tell you that it was smart
and patriotic move.

“Let me advise the President to steer clear of
hypocrites, because it is better to live with an
enemy than hypocrite because hypocrite derives
joy from stabbing one’s back.

“Over $200 billion Dollars are stashed away from
Nigeria to Dubai alone. This may the monies stolen
since in the past 20 years. I am not talking about
estates and bonds and other securities bought with
Nigeria stolen money.
