BBC News writes: "Nigeria's fraud police say they have recovered $170m (£105m) from wealthy debtors who owe money to five banks.
It is only one-thirtieth of the billions they want to track down.
Earlier this month, Nigeria's central bank was forced to bail out financial institutions that were close to collapse because of bad debts.
Nigeria's banking scandal is not linked to the global financial crisis, instead it is the result of corruption in the banking world here."

Talking to British Foreign Secretary David Miliband on telephone the President also noted the support of Britain to help Pakistan face the challenges of extremism and terrorism.
He said Pakistan needs the world support to tackle all the ills that nurture the seeds of extremism in the society."
