PwC audit report confirms $18.5bn was diverted from NNPC account, says Sanusi

The former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and the current Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has said that the audit report on the accounts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has confirmed that about $18.5 billion was to the Federal Government by the corporation.
