Help Sought For Nigerian Unit

This seems strange:

The Nigerian corruption commission that investigated some of the West African business transactions involving Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, has signed up a Washington lobbyist to help it gain financial resources from government and non-governmental entities in the United States. In a filing with the Justice Department, KRL International and its managing director, K. Riva Levinson, said they will be doing the work on a "pro bono" basis.

The September 2006 report from the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission gave some of the first indications about some of the individuals and companies that the FBI was examining as part of its corruption investigation of the congressman. The FBI had asked the commission to investigate.

Jefferson was indicted in June on bribery, racketeering and other charges. He has proclaimed his innocence and is now scheduled for trial Feb. 25. According to its filing with the Justice Department, KRL said it would be "seeking U.S. support for the anti-corruption agenda of the Nigerian commission." It said it would be meeting with members of the executive branch, Congress, the private sector, the news media and non-governmental organizations such as think tanks.

Am I missing something?
