No further charges brought against her. She wasn’t even in court today. It was her mother, Mrs. Agama that was reportedly cited.

So where is the £20 billion that has been floated by APC as recovered from her?
This is another news hype about corruption. Seems like much ado about nothing. Anyone’s cash could be seized by foreign authorities if it exceeds the normal limit allowed by law.
