Nigeria's anti-corruption agency is to charge former US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, over a bribery scandal that involves a former subsidiary of energy firm Halliburton.
The case centres on engineering firm KBR, which admitted bribing officials.
Cheney was Halliburton's chief executive before becoming vice-president to George W Bush in 2001.
A lawyer for Cheney said allegations he was involved in the scandal were entirely baseless.
A spokesman for the anti-corruption agency said the charges were likely to be brought against Cheney next week.
