ABUJA, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Nigeria's financial crime watchdog
arraigned ex-attorney general Mohammed Adoke for allegedly
receiving bribes to facilitate a $1.3 billion oil deal, the
agency said in a statement on Thursday.
It is the latest development in one of the oil industry's
biggest corruption scandals.
An international investigation into the 2011 sale of the
offshore oilfield known as OPL 245 by Malabu Oil and Gas has
entangled two of the sectors biggest players, Shell RDSa.L and
Eni ENI.MI , as well as an array of powerful figures from the
previous Nigerian government.
