Read it:
Nigeria, 1993 to 2026. In April 2017 anti-corruption officers find forty-three million dollars in a Lagos flat; a spy agency says it is its own; no court ever says whose it was. From that flat the book follows the money of Africa's largest oil state: a dictator's cash from his own central bank, a governor acquitted at home and convicted on his own pleas in London, an eleven-billion-dollar award a London judge found was obtained by fraud, crude stolen through a pipe into the sea, the ransom market, and the reporters who paid for finding out. Covers Sani Abacha and his family's foreign accounts, James Ibori and the London solicitor convicted with him, P&ID and the official a court found it bribed, and Ramon Abbas and the detective Abba Kyari.
