Nigeria Accuses Switzerland of Being ‘Accessory’ to Abacha Loot. Nigeria’s foreign affairs minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, has flayed Switzerland for its role in keeping the infamous Abacha loot and making the process of repatriation of the assets strenuous. The Abacha loot refers to monies believed to have been stolen and stashed in countries and tax havens around the world by late Nigerian ruler, Sani Abacha. Switzerland recently agreed to repatriate a fresh $350 million as part of the Abacha loot in that country. The minister said he was also shocked and angry by the chunk of the money retained by “institutions in Switzerland and lawyers”. Mr Onyeama spoke Tuesday morning at the opening of 2nd International Conference on Combating Illicit Financial Flows and Enhancing Asset Recovery for Sustainable Development. The two-day event is organised by the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), in conjunction with other partners. Mr Onyeama described the a

Alli Withdraws from England Squad Dele Alli has withdrawn from the England squad to face Switzerland due to a minor muscle strain. The Tottenham midfielder played 90 minutes as the Three Lions lost their opening UEFA Nations League game to Spain at Wembley on Saturday. However, a slight injury sustained during that game has now seen him pull out of the squad, and Gareth Southgate has opted against calling up a replacement for the friendly on Tuesday. Indeed, Southgate has already called up uncapped Leicester duo Demarai Gray and Ben Chilwell for the clash with Switzerland. Alli has played in all four of Spurs' games thus far this season, scoring in the opening day win over Newcastle United, and played a key role in the Three Lions' run to the World Cup semi-finals over the summer. Though he was rested against both Panama and Belgium in the group stages, Alli scored a key goal against Sweden in the quarter-finals.
