Switzerland will return to
Nigeria some $380m (£260m) allegedly looted by ex-military ruler Sani Abach and
his family.
The transfer, to be conducted under the supervision of the
World Bank, will end a 16-year case against the Abacha family.
Switzerland has already returned $700m, following appeals
from Nigeria.
Abacha ruled the oil-rich Nigeria state with an iron fist
from 1993 until his death in 1998.
Soon thereafter, Nigeria's new rulers asked Switzerland to
help it recover $2.2bn that he had reportedly stashed in European bank
accounts.
