ENGLISH TRANSLATION
The news on Tuesday, the tenth day of May, 2016, quoted the British Prime Minister, David Cameron calling Nigeria one of the most corrupt nation in the world. He did not explain that his country has been aiding and abetting corruption by keeping looted funds and making United Kingdom a safe haven for the looters.
Palm Oil is an agricultural produce of economic value particularly in West Africa, hence it was kept often on the ceiling in time past. If anyone stole palm oil from the ceiling where it is kept, and there is no one to receive it, it is either he/she personally consume it or could have been caught quicker. According to Yoruba proverb that can be interpreted thus, “An accomplice is worse than the offender”. If the corrupt treasury looters have no accomplice in the UK, such wicked act could have been minimized.
The war being waged against corruption since the newly elected government nearly a year ago, by Muhammad Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo led administration, for treasury looters to face the consequences for their corrupt practices and the stolen fund to be refunded to the Nigerian purse, is commendable. The British government should pledge during the Anti-corruption Summit schedule to take place in the UK on Thursday, May 12, 2016, their support at recovering the various looted funds and refunding such funds to Nigeria to show that the UK is not an accomplice.
