The Federal
Government has dragged former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and one-time
Petroleum minister, Dan Etete to court in the United Kingdom, insisting that
the transfer of over $800 million to accounts controlled by Dan Etete from a
Nigerian government account with regards to the Malabu Oli deal was fraudulent
and against Nigerian laws.
In a notice
filed at the British Court, the Federal Government under President Muhammadu
Buhari, argued that the transfer of the funds was done against the Nigerian
laws. “Those funds should have been paid into the Consolidated Fund of the
Government of Nigeria, following the grant of an oil exploration licence to a
foreign oil consortium,” the government argued, according to court documents
seen by The Daily Times.
