Nigeria's ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has said he has been investigated for corruption by his successor Muhammadu Buhari's government.
"Of course, obviously, they investigated and I’ve been investigated,” he said in a Bloomberg Television interview.
He declined to say what the investigations might reveal, saying he wanted to leave Mr Buhari's government to do its job.
Mr Buhari has accused former government officials of stealing billions of dollars, but Mr Jonathan said his administration had done "very well" in curbing corruption.
Mr Jonathan denied Mr Buhari's claim that he left behind a "virtually empty treasury" when he left office last year.
“There’s no way he would have inherited an empty treasury. It’s not possible,” he said.
Mr Jonathan was succeeded by Mr Buhari last May. He was the first president to hand power voluntarily after losing elections.
