Correspondent Habidah Lawal reports that the United States and the British dependency of Jersey agreed with the Nigerian government in February to return 300 million dollars that Sani Abacha, a dictator who died in 1998, had stashed in their banks.

This is significant as Nigeria continues efforts to repatriate money allegedly stolen during General Abacha’s tenure as Head of State of Africa’s biggest oil producer, from 1993 until his death in 1998.
