A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed against Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF), over the hiring of a civil society organistion (CSO) to monitor the spending of the $311 million Abacha loot.
Recovered in May 2020, the funds were repatriated from the United States and the Bailiwick of Jersey.
Malami had said the fund will be dedicated to the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Abuja-Kano road, and the Second Niger Bridge.
A technical bid was then set up by the asset recovery and management unit of the ministry of justice to select civil society organisations that would oversee the implementation of the projects to ensure transparency.
