Buhari Orders NIA To Trace Missing Oil Billions

The promise by Pres­ident Muhammadu Buhari to trace and recover billions of dollars of Nigeria’s oil money stashed in foreign bank accounts by top of­ficials of the immediate past administration of Dr Goodluck Jonathan may not be an empty threat af­ter all as there are strong indications that the presi­dent has ordered the Na­tional Intelligence Agency, NIA to follow the looted funds to the various coffers where they are now being kept.  
The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) is a Nigerian government secret security agency tasked with over­seeing foreign intelligence and counterintelligence op­erations, with operatives embedded in the country’s foreign missions across the world.

An impeccable source close to the president re­vealed that the amount of money being traced now is far above the missing $20 billion the former CBN Governor and current Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sa­nusi alerted the nation about.

It was gathered that soon after Buhari won the presi­dential election in March, well-connected individuals and foreign governments have been giving the presi­dent loads of documents and information on the where­abouts of billions of dollars kept in foreign accounts by top officials of the Jona­than’s administration. These have also been followed up with calls for probe espe­cially of the oil sector where billions of dollars have been declared missing.
