The UK National Crime Agency (NCA) has disclosed that their agents began a corruption probe of Nigeria’s former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, in 2013. The ongoing investigation led to the arrest two days ago of Mrs. Alison-Madueke, who has shuttled between the UK and a few European countries since her cabinet post came to an end with the electoral defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The former minister was released on bail after several hours of questioning, but UK authorities have confiscated her international passport to ensure she does not flee the country.
In a recent update on their website, the UK National Crime Agency revealed that they began investigating Mrs. Alison-Madueke under the auspices of the Proceeds of Crime Unit (POCU) of the London Metropolitan police.
The agency added that all four persons arrested across London with Mrs. Alison-Madueke were granted conditional police bail pending the outcome of ongoing investigations in the UK and abroad.
The update on the NCA website did not name the accused persons, but a source within the Nigerian Presidency told SaharaReporters that they believe some of the other suspects are Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s relatives who may have rendered one assistance or another to her in the laundering of significant amounts through UK banks and other financial institutions.

DeleteI support

DeleteOne can only hope that they arrest Chuks Iroche, Dapo Balogun etc plenty oil monkeys dey. So now we know Buhari was letting the UK Deal with her cos she has no way of escaping or bribing her way out of it. I just hope the conviscated her St. Kits Passport she paid the Pm $1M let them try deny.
ReplyDeleteBut this woman fine sha, make she give me kpansh
ReplyDeleteSilly fool!
DeleteIdiot!
DeleteIdiot!
DeleteLol.stupid small boi
DeleteHenry respect urself na. That's someone's mother
DeleteOld enough to be your mum
DeleteAnd that's how she lost her peace.
ReplyDeleteThis life is indeed transient.
All the people who stole this country's wealth will never go scot free.God will catch all of them one by one.Allison Madueke is one of the seeds of corruption sown by GEJ,a man who is also corrupt.Evil begets evil!
ReplyDeleteHnmmm.
ReplyDeleteSince 2013 cha! I suspect with this release, them fit don bug her phone lines. This woman would have juat stayed here for this financial crime watch. She for don de smile cos our judicial systems are highly compromised.
ReplyDeleteShe should do quick and implicate Jonathan ...
ReplyDeleteMy question is in 2013 when allegations of her embezzling started why wasn't she probed and sacked by Jonathan ? There were lots of petitions against her ... A lot ! Now Jonathan should bury his head in shame - another country is doing for him what he couldn't do from the very beginning.
Why couldn't he investigate the claims and Petitions against dieziani?simply means that he was also involved ..
Thats cus he was also yanshing her.
DeleteStupid Lola it's your father they would implicate.... May the hate you have for GEJ consume you and your household. Oloshi omo
DeleteWhen i saw this in the news on friday, i was overwhealmed with joy.
ReplyDeleteThis woman should be tagged an armed robber.
Zizzy Genovese
Bad english
DeleteAnon lesson teacher the only thing that's incorrect is "in" instead of "on" so not really worthy of a callout. You sound like an idiot calling someone out for one misplaced letter
DeleteI just knew it. They might have been more motoring her quietly without her knowing. Tomorrow is here already
ReplyDeleteShe don thief more than she can chew, no way to swallow, e de choke her now, frog eye! That ur fat son keeps flaunting money and posing in stretch limos like he's got talent like Beyonce, to the xtent of takin pics with Chris brown, una do well oh.
ReplyDeleteDamn,they want to jail this woman oh. All these are mere protocol,they already know she's headed for a mildly comfortable jail house. Used to like her guts,till she started stealing big..now I'm indifferent.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the conclusion since it started years ago and we're just hearing about it
ReplyDeleteVery good.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting to see how this whole witch-hunt will play out.
ReplyDeleteWitch hunt? So dissappointed. SMH
DeleteI don't know why they bother to loot except they believed there will be no way they will ever be called upon to render account in Nigeria. They do not have the discipline to go into hiding and maintain a low profile. What would be the point of the loot in that case? Loot is to be enjoyed, abi? The countries they like to visit and live their lavish lifestyles are, unfortunately, the ones with low tolerance for corruption. They would never dream of living in Ethiopia or Afghanistan (where they might likely be safe from Buhari and his anti-corruption crusade!). My prediction? A lot more of them will be arrested abroad while they are there to spend their illegally acquired wealth! Me thinks it's better to quietly give up the loot and live one's life in peace than go through all this hustle, uncertainty and embarrassments. But then, what do I know? LOL
ReplyDeleteIsek,please keep quiet.
DeleteWhy is it only people from the south south that are being processed?
We all know the people that benefited the most from corruption since Independence. But we all love to live in a fool s Paradise.
Mr Money maker, pls for heaven's sake keep quiet, sometimes I wonder why you always reason like this, must everything be seen through eyes of tribalism and sentiments,if the lady is thief, let her be duly prosecuted and jail if found guilty. No matter where the corrupt official is from, let us come together and tackle them, without resort to which side of the country he or she is from.
DeleteP.S it's prosecuted not processed #JustSaying
*prosecuted
DeleteThis Yoruba hypocrites leave money make alone and face Tinubu... Treacherous lot

ReplyDeleteOh no. See now, those who said she was being witch hunted. They've been on her case for 2 years. Chai this is not looking good. Cos if they found nothing they wouldn't have arrested her nor seized her passport. Double jeopardy. Cos she'll face same in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteMy question is,why she no just stay for naija jejely?? Now see d embarrasment she's brought upon her office n family....smh
DeleteBecause the looted wealth was not just meant to be enjoyed in her house or Nicon Hilton but all over the world! She must enjoy abroad also by force by fire
DeleteWhy haven't they done the same to others that ve been looting our collective wealth since Independence.
ReplyDeleteDid corruption start with the Goodluck govt?
Ask my yansh.....
DeleteMoney maker
DeletePlss stop being a dumb ass
I thought u learnt how this woman alone looted billion's of USD
Can we plss be realistic and put sentiment aside
If everyone go on like this then imagine the future of our kids
Plss ur brain aint a deco put it to use
THINK!!!!!!!
Goddammit!!
Very myopic local maggot!
Enuf of d probe bikonu!
ReplyDeleteJail up straight!!!
Money maker so the U.K. government is also against the south south people abi? The UK National Crime Agency (NCA) is also tribalistic against borrow language people and south south people right?
ReplyDeleteYou are just a very very big fool.
Shameless borrow culture people always playing the victim
ReplyDeleteAre you okay?
DeleteAnd this woman is supposed to be a mother, real disgrace to women. What advice do you want to advice your sons if you are a money launderer and looter. How do you caution your grand kids that stealing is wrong, when you are a robber. I'm surprised a woman can be this callous because of greed. Next now, they will be cautious about giving women in the cabinet sensitive positions. What even happened with the post they gave her in OPEC.
ReplyDeleteThe hunter is now the hunted. Come to think of it, how come nobody has heard any news about this woman's husband?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why UK authorities will probe a Nigerian who looted Nigerian money on Nigerian soil. Who gave them the authority? Do we not have the capacity to deal with our own issues? I know why I'm asking these questions.
ReplyDeleteShe looted money in Nigerian soil but is spending it in UK. They have the authority to probe anyone committing a crime in their country. Money laundering is a crime.
DeleteJane, she moved large amounts of money into the UK, if they work wit d Nigerian govt and find out these monies were not legitimately sourced, she goes to jail...same happened to Ibori, this is to dissuade people from using uk banks to laud money
DeleteIt's because they use the UK as a money laundering country and enjoy the proceeds of their crime there. Do you understand now? politics is not for everyone to comment on.
ReplyDeleteBorrow culture people leave Tinubu alone and face Ojukwu... ass licking retards.
ReplyDeleteUntil we all put tribal sentiments and bigotry aside, Nigeria will remain stagnant
ReplyDeleteYes they can prosecute when you transfer funds into their banks under a fictitious business this would fall under International money laundering. like Ibori..
ReplyDeleteAnd the British Police would never touch you unless they have concrete proof unlike our cockroach Police that arrest based on mere beer parlour gossip! !
Yeah knew some knucklehead would mention tribalism!!
Jane kerp asking mumu...thesr thieves u pple are fighting doesnt knw if u exist. Let het refund what she looted. SHE IS A THIEF. And shld be treated as one.
