Buhari to look into $9.3m arms money seized by South Africa


The Federal Government will demand for the release of the $9.3m weapon money seized from Nigerian agents by the South African authorities on September 5, 2014.

President Muhammadu Buhari revealed this on Monday, June 15, while addressing Nigerians in South Africa at the Nigeran Consulate in Johannesburg.

Buhari also promised to seek a review of the cases of Nigerians currently in South African prisons and those pending in courts when President Jacob Zuma visits Nigeria.
“I’m told there are 83 Nigerians in prisons here(South Africa);   I don’t know what they have done but I spoke to the President of South Africa this(Monday) afternoon.
“He(Zuma) wants to come to Nigeria. There are issues he knows which he wants to talk about. I will certainly talk to him; I hope our ambassador will send a comprehensive report about the court cases and about those who lost properties during the xenophobic attacks recently.
“And at that time, I will attempt to ask him about our $9.3m which was not correctly transferred.”
