Nigeria Refutes Claims US Court Authorised Seizure of $21m from JP Morgan Account

Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, has refuted report by an online media outfit that a United States District Court authorised a certain Louis E. Williams to seize $21 million from Nigeria’s account with JP Morgan.

Fagbemi, in a statement, explained that contrary to the report, the court rejected Nigeria’s objection to the suit on the grounds of sovereign immunity.
