US is still yet to handover oil thieves list to Buhari

Firstclass newsline has learnt that the government of the United
States is still yet to give the list of oil thieves to President
Muhammadu Buhari, investigations by firstclass newsline crew have
shown.
Firstclass newsline learnt on Friday that during Buhari's visit to
Washington in July, 2015, the United States did not give any list.
Some reilable sources at the US embassy said they were not aware of
any exchange of documents between American officials and the President
during the visit.
If there was such a list, a source said, it was not given to Buhari
during the visit.
The source said, "Though President Buhari engaged in discussions on
various issues with the US President Barack Obama, there was no
exchange of documents between them."
It was learnt that when contacted, the US embassy in Abuja declined
comment on the issue. The Press Attaché, Sean McIntosh, said he had no
comment on the issue. There had been media report that the US
government had given Buhari two separate lists containing the names of
corrupt Nigerians and crude oil thieves, adding that the President was
taken aback when he saw the list.
The list was said to contain the names of top government officials who
have been stealing the country's oil, using their high offices to
perpetrate the stealing and the other containing the names of illegal
oil bunkerers.
It was gathered that the report further stated that the list given to
the President by the US might compel him to probe the administration
of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
But the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr.
Femi Adesina, denied knowledge of any list of corrupt Nigerians
reportedly handed over to Buhari during his visit to the US.
He said he would not be able to make further comment on the matter
since he was not aware of the list.
"I have no knowledge of the list you are talking about so I can
neither confirm its authenticity nor those listed therein," he said.
