Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has pledged to recover "mind-boggling" amounts of stolen oil money and bring those responsible to book, his spokesman said on Wednesday. The 72-year-old head of state, in Washington for talks with US officials, alleged that 250,000 barrels of crude were being stolen every day, with the profits going into individual bank accounts. Buhari, a former military ruler, has carved a reputation as a no-nonsense crusader against graft and has vowed the corrupt and corruption "will have no place" in his government.AFP PHOTO/BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI (Photo credit should read BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-18/nigerians-bury-cash-in-backyard-banks-as-mobile-money-stumbles https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-18/nigerians-bury-cash-in-backyard-banks-as-mobile-money-stumbles Wed, 18 Jul 2018 23:00:00 GMT A currency dealer counts bundles of naira banknotes for exchange on the 'black market' in Lagos, Nigeria. https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2018-05-24/gunmen-abduct-42-passengers-in-northwestern-nigeria https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2018-05-24/gunmen-abduct-42-passengers-in-northwestern-nigeria Thu, 24 May 2018 05:09:37 GMT https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-01/suicide-bombers-in-northeast-nigeria-kill-at-least-27-people https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-01/suicide-bombers-in-northeast-nigeria-kill-at-least-27-people Tue, 01 May 2018 16:17:16 GMT https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-02/boko-haram-northeast-nigeria-clash-kills-15-people-injures-55 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-02/boko-haram-northeast-nigeria-clash-kills-15-people-injures-55 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 10:26:08 GMT Rescue workers carry a body of a victim following a suicide attack in Maiduguri, Nigeria Monday, April 2, 2018.
