ABACHA'S SON HAS BEEN CHARGED FOR STEALING N446.3 BILLION.

A new charge has been filed by the Federal Government against the son of the late General Sani Abacha, Mohammed, accusing him of
unlawfully receiving about N446.3billion allegedly stolen from
government’s coffers between 1995 and 1998.

In the nine-count charge, FG accused Mohammed of
“dishonestly receiving stolen property” and “voluntarily
assisted in concealing money.”
The charge replaced the earlier one of 121 counts in which
Mohammed was charged with Atiku Bagudu. The government
has now excluded Bagudu from the fresh charge, leaving only
Mohammed.
According to the new charge marked CR.21-24/2008, the
stolen money allegedly received by Mohammed, and which he
was accused of concealing include £141,100,000 and
$384,353,000 made up of cash and travellers cheques.
