Son of former Nigerian ruler is re-arrested
Police released and then re-arrested Mohammed Abacha after he had spent three years in jail awaiting trial on charges of corruption and money laundering. The move led to a protest yesterday by thousands of the family's supporters.They all work in the e-mail industry... The authorities gave no clear reason either for the release on bond or the re-arrest of Abacha, son of General Sani Abacha, who was Nigeria's military ruler from 1993 until his death in 1998. Yeah. I know all about him. There's all this money, sittin' in a Swiss bank account, see? And they need my help to spring it, and they'll cut me in... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-09-20 |
