Diezani-Alison-Madueke
Oct 3, 2023
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says to bring the former Minister of Petroleum Diezani Madueke to trial in Nigeria, it has obtained an arrest warrant and initiated extradition proceedings.
According to the Commission, it is on course on her trial. “She will soon have her day in our courts”.
“We welcomes with keen interest her arraignment”, the EFCC said on Monday.
“Although the charges preferred against her at the London court, are diametrically different from the 13-count charges bordering on money laundering the EFCC has raised against her, it is instructive to note that criminality is criminality, irrespective of jurisdictional differences”.
“No crime can go unpunished. The money laundering charges for which Madueke is answerable to the EFCC, cover jurisdictions in Dubai, United Kingdom, United States of America and Nigeria.
