Mohammed Abacha, son of Nigeria's late military ruler General Sani Abacha, who was recently released from three years in prison on charges of money laundering and corruption, has instructed lawyers to retrieve millions of dollars he says are rightfully his. Banks in Europe have frozen accounts holding money allegedly siphoned off while General Abacha ruled Nigeria from 1993 to his death in 1998.
