The South African envoy to Nigeria, Lulu Louis Mnguni on the 25th of October, said that South Africa has returned the $15million seized from Nigeria.

The envoy was quoted by online news media, Cable as saying, "South Africa's relations with Nigeria comes a long way, so, now, this will actually make us much closer, to see how we can close some of these gaps that result in such accidents," online news medium, Cable quoted Mnguni as saying.

"South Africa's relations with Nigeria is priceless, it cannot be sold for $15 million. These are two separate incidents and, of course, the issue of the money has already been sorted out. Nigeria has been given the money," Mnguni further said.

Mnguni had before now said South Africa was ready to refund Nigeria's money but due process needed to be followed in the reclamation of the money.

"Well, obviously we also in South Africa don't want to keep Nigeria's money, but we want to follow due process to address it. It's their money and so they would like to have their money back," he was quoted on a TV programme.

He further said, "We've been selling arms to Nigeria for many years, so we don't have a problem. Why should we not sell arms to Nigeria? If Nigeria needs arms to protect its citizens and its peoples, so we have to assist them."

The dust has finally settled.
