Abuja, Nigeria
Nigerian officials appealed this week for the return of $1 billion that former dictator Sani Abacha had hidden in bank accounts around the world. About $2 billion of the fortune, which Abacha plundered from his country, has been found since his death in 1998. But another billion is still out there. “We keep looking everywhere,” said Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. “If you see where any money is stashed, please let us know.”
