Abacha, who is the scion of the late Head of State, Gen. Sanu Abacha, had earlier on Friday filed a suit seeking to reclaim the OPL 245, which the Federal Government was accused of re-allocating to Shell and Agip without the consent of Malabu Oil and Gas Limited, where he is the largest shareholder.

The OPL 245, an oil field believed to be the largest in Africa with over nine billion barrels of crude, was said to have been fraudulently acquired from the Federal Government by Malabu Oil and Gas Limited in 1998 and afterwards offered to oil giants, Shell and Agip, in a shady shady deal.
