Spend $150m Abacha loot on N’Delta, activist tells Tinubu

A Niger Delta rights activist, Ozobo Austin, has called on President Bola Tinubu to appropriate the $150m Gen. Sani Abacha loot to boost critical infrastructures in the Niger Delta region, saying “the money is part of the Niger Delta oil funds being stolen by Abacha.”

Ozobo, in a statement on Wednesday, maintained that “no region but the Niger Delta should benefit from the money, and it would amount to injustice for the Nigerian government not to appropriate the funds for the development of the Niger Delta region.”

He argued that “It would be a wrong argument for anybody to lay false claims that the money belongs to the Nigerian government because the money was sourced from Niger Delta crude oil sales.
