THE Federal Government has announced that it has received $322.51 million from the Swiss Government as part of looted funds recovered from former Head of State, late Gen. Sani Abacha.

Special Adviser, Media and Communications to the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, Mr. Oluyinka Akintunde, said this in a statement, on Tuesday, in Abuja.

Akintunde said there was no controversy surrounding the recovery of stolen funds by the former head of state from the Swiss Government.

“The minister wishes to dissociate herself and the Federal Ministry of Finance from recent reports on the Abacha refunds.

“The minister had at no time written any letter to the President or any member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on the payment of lawyers for the Abacha recovery.
