Some new properties
allegedly linked to the former minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke
have been discovered in an on-going money laundering trial in UK.
Diezani is facing money
laundering trial in the United Kingdom and Nigeria. Sahara Reporters alleged
that the ex-minister secretly acquired the properties in London with the money
allegedly stole from the coffers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Commission
(NNPC).
The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleged that the agency has already seized the sum of
23.4bn, $5m and another N9.08bn out of the $153.3m from the ex-minister. Below
are some pictures of the London properties the ex-minister allegedly acquired
with money she allegedly siphoned from the coffers of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Commission (NNPC).
Meanwhile, the Lagos state
Federal High Court has ordered the interim forfeiture of N7,646,700,000 kept in
Sterling bank by former minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke. The
judge, Chuka obiozor, adjourned the case till August 28, 2017 for Sterling Bank
and any other party involved to appear before the court to state why the funds
should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.
