The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright, has stated that his Country is committed to returning all looted funds from Nigeria back to the country but that this would be done through the rule of law.
Paul Arkwright revealed this on Thursday in Abeokuta, Ogun state after he paid a courtesy visit to the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo.
“President Mohammadu Buhari made the same point when he was in London for anti-corruption summit which my prime minister set up. We need international action to fight corruption.
“We need all the looted funds around the world, including United Kingdom to return to rightful place which is Nigeria; United Kingdom is doing everything we can to ensure that those funds are return to Nigeria.
“We have no interest, no intention of keeping the money, we want it to go back to Nigeria, full stop.
“The issues are that you will understand that United Kingdom just like Nigeria, is a country which respects the rule of law,” he said.
