EFCC raid, seal and arrest Former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke


According to sources in the know, the Asokoro, Abuja home of former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has not only been raided but also sealed by officials of EFCC. They were there this afternoon and stayed for a few hours. There are security operatives reportedly currently stationed at the palatial home.
Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke has been in London for some time, reportedly on health grounds.
Under her watch the then CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, alleged missing funds in the Nigerian National Petroleum Commission (NNPC), amounting to 20 billion dollars.
Few days ago at the UN General Assembly, President Muhammadu Buhari had made it clear that those who misappropriated billions of naira belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation would soon be prosecuted.

Diezani was arrested this morning in London for offences related to bribery and corruption and I hear there are plans to extradite her.
