General Sani Abacha Nigerian Head Of State 1993-1998 |
The Assistant Attoney General Lesile Cardwell said that the former General rather than serve his country used his public office in Nigeria to loot millions of Dollars thereby engaging in wicked act of 'Kleptocracy'.
Considering public outcry and the current state of the Nigerian health sector. What in your opinion should the loot recovered from the Abacha's be spent on?
Some are suggesting that the American Government should use the Abacha loot to buy the Ebola and HIV drugs to support victims and PEPFAR patients. PEPFAR is a foreign donor that has disbursed more than 3.4 million Dollars (544 Billion Naira) to support HIV/AIDS patients.
Nigeria recorded its first Ebola Virus disease fatality on Tuesday when one of the nurses who was one of the primary contacts of the American-Liberian, Patrick Sawyer, passed on. The doctor who treated Sawyer, who died in the country after flying into Lagos, is now ill with Ebola and six other primary contacts are currently ill with the disease in a Lagos hospital where they are quarantined.
