    Nigerian whistleblowers who reported a stash of $43m in a Lagos flat in April have yet to receive their reward, their lawyer has told the BBC. They are entitled to at least 5% of the money according to a new anti-corruption law http://bbc.in/2ABEHM4 pic.twitter.com/NFpbJKRhH1

        I heard the delay was due to Efcc' s counselling of the whistleblower on how to spend his reward. I'm so appalled!!!
