A storm of reactions by Nigerians has greeted the news that the sum of £211,000,000 (N81.9bn) laundered by former Nigerian dictator, General Sani Abacha, has been seized from a bank in Jersey, Channels Islands by a British court.
A report monitored on UK Metro by Naija News, says the money was put in accounts held in Jersey by Doraville Properties Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company.
The Newspaper noted that the government is holding on to the money until authorities in Jersey, the United States and Nigeria come to an agreement on how it should be distributed. 
Abacha was a Nigerian army officer and de facto president between 1993 until his death in 1998.
Moments after the news broke, Nigerians took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter, to air their opinions on the loot.
Naija News captured some of the reactions below…

The last Abacha loot that was recovered has been re-looted by the integrity gang. So this one won’t be an exception.

Dear Gen. Sani Abacha,
I on behalf of other Nigerians want to appreciate you for helping us save all these monies, knowing Nigeria will one day need them.
23 years on, the loot is still flowing in like river Niger.

I remember this story about Abacha’s wife saying no matter how much money the FG seizes from them, they can never be as poor as Dangote… It appears that statement is true afterall…

Yet @MBuhari said “Abacha never stole”. Are Abacha and Buhari the people Pastor Kumuyi said we shouldn’t “attack”. It‘s because we were not attacking Abacha that the bloodthirsty buffoon stole a lot and killed so many Nigerians #FreeLeahSharibu #RenosDarts https://t.co/jm07GaJ61q
