Apparently embarrassed by the claim of Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, that a senior United States official had disclosed that a former Minister under President Goodluck Jonathan stole $6 billion Nigeria’s oil money during the official visit of President Muhammadu Buhari few weeks ago, the United States, yesterday, requested that the name of the US official, who made the disclosure, be made public.
A top US official, who spoke on conditions of anonymity to Newswatch Times, said at the appropriate time, the US would question Governor Oshiomhole on the comment attributed to him in the Nigerian media.
He stated further that President Barrack Obama was working on the request of President Buhari, who had sought for the assistance of the US to retrieve monies stolen by Nigerian officials.
According to him, Oshiomhole was trying to pre-empt the US, which would certainly publish names of those who looted Nigeria’s oil money in no distant future.
