Nigeria: Governor escape 'shames' Nigeria

President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the governor who jumped bail on money-laundering charges in the UK and escaped home is "shameful" to Nigeria. Mr Obasanjo was commenting for the first time in public on the case of Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, although he has asked the UK for an explanation. Mr Alamieyeseigha was expelled from the ruling PDP party last Thursday. He also faces corruption charges in a special court, which can strip elected officials of their immunity.
