Obasanjo signed an agreement with Bagudu in 2003, Bagudu returned $163m to Obasanjo's govt.

The FG then under Obasanjo in exchange for this benevolence from Bagudu, dropped all civil and criminal charges against Bagudu, the FG also renounced its interest in other trust assets.

Bagudu became a free man, free to contest and free to hold political positions. Bagudu knew he had other bags stashed abroad and he only played a fast one on the Ota farmer.He got a clean slate and a solid agreement in a UK court. He realized that Nigeria was aiming for his bag

He sued the FG for breach of Agreement, the FG in 2003 already signed a no interest case in his trusts in the US.

The US wants to return the money to Nigeria and the FG under Buhari says, if you do, we will hand over a substantial part of it to this guy because according to...

This agreement signed in 2003, the money no longer belongs to us, we have no interest in it. Else this man will take us to court..

He already has a clean slate, his sins have been washed away by Obj in the agreement and he is now as white as snow.

Few questions

1. Why did Obj drop criminal and civil charges against him in exchange for money that belonged to Nigeria?

2. Why would the US hold funds of $163m in trust for a politically exposed Nigerian, knowing fully well that it must have been proceeds of corruption.
