Late Generals wife who is currently on house arrest as a result of her
family's recent confrontation with the present government of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria Our client's family accounts in Switzerland and some
other countries was recently frozen in the bead by the Nigerian government
to get hold of Late General Sani Abachas Money. See attach BBC news
