Nigerian opposition parties are threatening to disclose names of Nigerian recipients of KBR bribes.

President Umaru Yar'adua has already indicated that he has asked US authorities for the names and will make them public. The US Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission arrived at a $402 million settlement earlier this year with KBR and its former parent Halliburton. The companies were accused of breaching the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by bribing Nigerian public officials.

The opposition argues that the President Yar'adua is dragging his feet, and claim to be in a position to release the names themselves within the next few days if the President does not do so first.
