A report published today by Vanguard newspaper has uncovered a list
of some of the foreign banks used to funnel close to $200 million in
Halliburton bribes to Nigerian officials, including two former heads of
states.
Under pressure from the United States, President Goodluck Jonathan
recently directed that the files on the $180 million Halliburton bribery
scam be reopened and the principal suspects re-arrested for
prosecution.
Even though the Vanguard report failed to mention the former Nigerian
heads of state implicated in the scandal, SaharaReporters has learnt
that the principal targets are former military ruler Abdulsalami
Abubakar and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
