President Muhammadu Buhari has now directed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to make public details of stolen / recovered loots.
Buhari, who had failed to name the treasury looters on Democracy day as earlier promised, has decided to leave the job to the CBN.
According to presidential aide, Garba Shehu in a Facebook post, he said “records will be obtained from the CBN and the investigation agencies regarding recovery and seizures, and actual status with regard to frozen sums in banks and assets held wherever they are.”
He further added: “Going forward, he has asked them to update the information periodically. The minister should be ready with this when work resumes, possibly Wednesday or Thursday.”
Meanwhile, the minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, has revealed the real reason why President Buhari did not reveal the treasury looters on may 29.
He cited “legal reasons” as the main reason.
