‘A group of 55 people, including cabinet ministers, state governors, bankers and businessmen stole $6.8 billion from Nigeria’s public coffers over seven years, a minister has claimed. The sum includes $2.1 billion meant to fight terrorist group Boko Haram.

“If we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria,” Information Minister Lai Mohammed said on Monday. He failed to provide any proof to support the figures or identify any of the alleged thieves, however.
