European countries and their financial institutions may no longer be a safe haven for corrupt public officials in Nigeria
The European Union (EU) is said to be considering measures, including visa ban, on Nigerian officials found to have enriched themselves through the public till, akin to the Proclamation Act 7750 passed by the United States’ Congress during the George Bush administration.
Sunday Sun exclusively gathered that a dossier on such officials and their family members would be compiled and made available to all the EU countries.
The proposal had been on the drawing board for some years now, but it is being given a fresh impetus as a fallout of the public hearing on Shell’s operations in the Niger Delta held at the Dutch Parliament on Wednesday.
