Jonathan’s men returning loots – President

President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that those who looted the nation’s treasury during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan have voluntarily started returning the funds.
Buhari confirmed this in Tehran, Iran, yesterday while fielding questions from members of the Nigerian community there. The president was in Iran for the third summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF).
President Buhari noted that but for the needed thorough investigation and evidence that would aid their eventual trial, the looters would have been prosecuted before now.
“On corruption; yes, they (alleged looters) are still innocent. But, we are collecting documents. And some of them have started voluntarily returning something. But we want all,” Buhari said.
Speaking further, President Buhari reminded his audience that his predecessors had sold the power sector to many interest groups.
The president also vowed to clamp down on the saboteurs in the sector and do its best to ensure regular power supply in Nigeria.
Nigerian Chargé d’affaires in Iran, Dr Ali Magashi explained that few Nigerians currently in Iranian prisons were drugs couriers who attempted to smuggle banned substances into the country from Afghanistan.
