US court orders release of seized $6 million arms funds to Nigeria
Until the judgment, Nigeria faced a double whammy, receiving neither its funds nor the military equipment it intended to purchase with the money.
Nigeria has won a prolonged legal battle to recover over $6 million in arms funds that had been seized by the United States government since 2014.
The funds were seized about a decade ago from an arms broker, who was trying to supply military equipment from the US to Nigeria without having the necessary licence.
