Fifty-five Nigerians, including former ministers, governors,
business leaders and public officials, have stolen nine billion dollars in
public funds in seven years, the information minister claims. The looted funds
could have built 36 hospitals or educated 4,000 children through university,
Mohammed said.
According to Mohammed, the stolen money included USD 2.1
billion meant to buy weapons to fight the Boko Haram terrorist group but
instead was diverted to the election campaign of former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
