The charges against Cheney and other executives of Halliburton and its former subsidiary KBR were dropped after a plea-bargain deal was reached, said Economic and Financial Crimes Commission spokesman Femi Babafemi.

Authorities said the charges stemmed from a case involving as much as $180 million (€135m) allegedly paid in bribes to Nigerian officials from 1995 to 2004.
