The United States has criticized the Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomhole for his allegation that some senior US officials named to him a former Jonathan minister who stole $6 billion.
Leadership reports that a top official at the Department of State debunked the allegation. The official said the US would react if Oshiomhole names the officials who gave him the information.
“As far as I know, nobody from this office mentioned any name or names to the delegation. We are against the level that corruption has reached in Nigeria and all we did was to assure the Nigeria’s president and members of his delegation that we will work together with their government to tackle corruption and expose those that are banking stolen funds with American banks. We will respond to this very serious allegation once the governor mentions all the names of the official of this office that told him exactly what he said in the press” the official said.
