NIGERIAN security agents have arrested the chief accountant working for late military ruler Sani Abacha. Ibrahim Al-Amin was arrested at his home in Kano, northern Nigeria, and driven to the capital Abuja for interrogation, said the family member. Al-Amin is the main accountant working for the Abacha family and closely linked to the family’s financial affairs. The government last year ordered an investigation into how hundreds of millions of dollars of public funds were channelled abroad by members of the Abacha family during the 1993-1998 regime. – AFP
