So unsurprisingly Nigeria is thinking twice about leveraging the corruption charges it has brought against our old friend Dick Cheney and Halliburton. Looks like somebody in Washington picked up the phone. Case in point: the delicately worded paragraph below from stalwart Bloomberg:
"After “fruitful discussions” with Halliburton officials in London last week, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is “awaiting further instructions” from the justice minister about whether to drop the charges related to a bribery scandal, Godwin Obla said yesterday in a telephone interview in Abuja, the capital. He didn’t provide details of the discussions."
Ah, justice. So nebulous. TBD.
