There are new insights on why the $180million Halliburton bribery probe is lingering without the trial of some highly-placed Nigerians.It was learnt that former President Goodluck Jonathan, who planned to table the report before the Council of State, could not do so because three former Heads of State were implicated in the scandal.
According to a source in ex-President Jonathan’s cabinet, who spoke in confidence, the former President was scared of security threats of subjecting ex-Heads of State to trial.
The source said when Jonathan sought advice, he was asked to “tread with caution” on the report.
