This was published over the weekend, but I just caught it now.  Nuhu Ribadu, former chariman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of Nigeria, who testified alongside Task Force members GFI and Global Witness in front of the US House Financial Services Committee last week, spoke to the Washington Post over the weekend.  From the interview:

In 2003, Nuhu Ribadu, a bookish police officer with a legal degree, became head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of Nigeria. His job was to investigate corruption — a problem that Ribadu estimates has cost Nigeria more than $380 billion since independence in 1960.

Read the whole interview at the Washington Post.

They also taped the interview for those who prefer video:
