Ambassador Adefuye was responding to the discussions on the Recovering of stolen Nigerian funds. "I will deal with him," Ambassador Adefuye shouted. "With friends like him, Nigeria does not need any enemies. We shall confront him in the next section and by the time we finish with him, he will see that Nigeria is not on the brink."
The panel comprised of Ambassadors Walter Carrington and John Campbell, EFCC Secretary, Emmanuel Akomaye, Omoyele Sowore of Saharareporters and Peter Lewis of John Hopkins University.
In his contribution, Omoyele Sowore of Saharareporters called Nigerian looters stupid because the ostentatious display of their loot easily gave them away. He expressed surprise that looters often bought state of the art cars that can not be driven on Nigerian roads because of their appalling conditions.
