Where did we put the $20 billion? Nigeria loses its oil money.

Gov. of Nigeria’s Central Bank Lamido Sanusi’s personal passport was seized today by authorities when he tried to leave the country for Paris.  Sanusi had presented a detailed report to the senate about $20 billion in oil revenues that recently disappeared. Pres. Goodluck Jonathan then dismissed him without bothering to obtain the necessary senate sanction.  The president also ignored a high court order to restore Sanusi’s previous diplomatic passport.

President Goodluck Jonathan’s actions are unfortunately bound to raise suspicions that he is somehow involved in the disappearance of the $20 billion.
