UK Parliament reveals that Gowon in his time carted away with half of the CBN

The UK Parliament debating a petition signed by over 220,000 signatories seeking to impose sanctions on Nigerian Government officials involved in the shooting incident that occurred during the Endsars protest in Lekki on October 20.

During a debate on Monday November 23rd, a member of the Parliament requested his government to place sanctions on Nigerians who flee to the UK with ill-gotten wealth. He also revealed that Nigeria’s former military ruler, Yakubu Gowon’s allegedly looted half of the monies of the Central Bank of Nigeria and ran to the UK with it.

“What we are seeing in Nigeria today is part of that story. It is a tragedy we are all witnessing because we see things falling apart.

“The problem this time is not foreign pressure known as colonialism. The pressure instead is corruption and violence and attempts at control (of power).

“We need to call out the corruption, we need to use the powers that we have in this country to stop those who are profiting from the wealth of that great nation and hiding it here.

“Now some people will remember when general Gowon left Nigeria, he took half of the Central Bank, so it is said, and moved to London.

“We know today, even now in this great city of ours, there are sadly some people who have taken the wealth of Nigerian people and hidden their ill-gotten gains here.

“We know that our banks sadly have been used for that profit or that illegal transfer of asset and that means that the UK is in a unique position in being able to actually do something to really exert pressure on those who have robbed Nigerians, he said
