Muhammadu Buhari still has no list of oil thieves that has been allegedly promised by the US authorities during the official visit of the president to Washington DC.
According to investigations by The Punch, the Nigerian leader did not receive any documents during his recent visits to America. An unnamed source at the US embassy told a reporter they were unaware of any exchange of documents between the two sides during the visit of the Nigerian delegation.
“Though President Buhari engaged in discussions on various issues with the US President Barack Obama, there was no exchange of documents between them,” the source said, adding that if such list existed, it definitely had not been provided to Buhari during the July 2015 visit.
Sean McIntosh, the press attaché of the US embassy in Abuja, did not comment on the issue.
The Presidential Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, was more open.
“I have no knowledge of the list you are talking about so I can neither confirm its authenticity nor those listed therein,” he said.
According to media reports dated July 28, Buhari brought home two separate lists with the names of crude oil thieves and corrupt Nigerians. The leader of the country was reportedly stunned upon seeing the information contained in the documents.
The mythical lists could have been used for probing the Jonathan administration, as they reportedly exposed the names of top government officials involved in illegal practices.
