Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to sue Switzerland and other countries for their failure to return stolen funds.
Falana, who said this while speaking with Premium Times, said that Buhari should sue the leaders of the western countries instead of continuing to appeal to their conscience.
He said, “The federal government should set up a team of local and foreign lawyers to initiate legal proceedings in the appropriate jurisdictions for the recovery and repatriation of the nation’s looted wealth.”

He said western governments won’t readily support repatriation of stolen funds, since their economies were benefiting from such funds.
“In spite of several promises the British government did not return any fund under former Prime Minister David Cameron.
“In the same vein, the outgoing Barrack Obama administration (in the U.S) will not repatriate a dime to Nigeria.”
