LAGOS (Reuters) - Nigeria's anti-corruption police said on Thursday they planned to file charges against former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney in a $180 million bribery case involving a former unit of oil services firm Halliburton.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday summoned the country chief of Halliburton and last week detained 10 Nigerian and expatriate Halliburton staff for questioning after raiding its Lagos office.
"We are filing charges against Cheney," EFCC spokesman Femi Babafemi told Reuters, but declined to give any further details on what the charges were, or where they would be filed.

Nigeria has an anti corruption function...?
Perhaps they can locate the Nigerian immigrant Michael Dukakis gave my mothers SSI number to in the 80’s.
They almost deported my mother. She settled up and got a new SSI number. The illegal will likely soon get everything she paid into the system for 50 years.
What a joke.

Cut Nigeria and any other foreign Country that tries to pull this shi! from ever receiving any kind of aid or military help forever. Screw the world like they have been screwing us for years. Use our energy to clean up Washington and rebuild America in the image of our founders. Time for hardball with corrupt foreign countries.

Now is this the same Nigerian bunch who send me emails every week wanting my bank account number so they can send me my long lost relatives fortune that he willed to me?
The whole world knows we have a wuss at the helm and they are circling for the kill on every front.

I wonder how they worded the letter they sent to him, I bet it asked for his account numbers to make all this go away.

I think you are likely right - that these folks should be referred to as hostages.
I wouldn’t be too surprised to find out that the “anti-corruption police” are pretty homogeneous when it comes to their religious affiliation. Will they start releasing videos of these “interrogations” - much like we’ve seen come out of the Middle East in the past.
