Osinbajo says, we’ve reached out to US on stolen funds’ repatriation

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo said the present administration has reached out to the United States government to step up its assistance in ensuring that corrupt officials do not have a safe haven in the US for their loot.

According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, the Vice-President spoke during a visit of a US Congressional Delegation to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday.

“We have reached out to the US government with respect with helping us with the repatriation of proceeds of crime and proceeds of corruption,” he was quoted as saying. Osinbajo reportedly told the delegation that the present administration regarded corruption as an existential threat that must be dealt with at its root.
