ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - Nigeria's top corruption investigator said Tuesday that up to six former governors will be charged by the end of the year, a sign the country's new leadership is making good on pledges to stamp out graft in one of the world's most corrupt nations.
Nuhu Ribadu, chairman of Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, refused to identify the men, saying he is afraid "they will run." But he said up to six will face charges in the next two months. He did not say what the charges would be.
"Definitely more governors will be charged," Ribadu told The Associated Press in an interview at his office in the Nigerian capital. "Governors are so afraid, wherever they go now."
