At a press conference in Lagos on Friday, Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information, released a list of individuals who have allegedly looted from the country’s treasury. The list contained six names, including Uche Secondus, the Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
On Sunday, just two days after, he said that list was just a “tip of the iceberg” and proceeded to release an even longer one containing a total of 23 names.
Though some of the facts and figures in the initial list are questionable and have been challenged, here is the full list of all 29 alleged looters mentioned so far by the ruling party.

About $3 billion was involved. The Federal Government is charging Omokore and Aluko and will use all legal instruments local and international to ensure justice. |
