The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, informed Justice Valentine Ashi of a Federal Capital Territory, FCT High Court sitting in Apo that it has written the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami, SAN, in respect to the extradition of a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, from the United Kingdom.
Diezani and Jide Omokore, a former Chairman, Atlantic Energy Drilling Company, were supposed to be arraigned by the Commission on February 25, 2019, for offences bordering on conspiracy and illegal act of accepting and giving gratifications.
They are alleged to have accepted and given gifts in properties located at Penthouse 22, Block B, Admiralty Estate, Ikoyi, and Penthouse 21, Building 5, Block C, Banana Island, Lagos. They are to be arraigned on February 25, 2019, on a five-count charge for the offences, which are contrary to Sections 26(1) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.
At the last sitting on December 4, 2018, the Court had ordered the EFCC and other security agencies, to ensure that she is brought to court 72 hours after she returns to Nigeria, for her to face the fraud charges.
At the resumed sitting On Monday, prosecuting counsel, Faruk Abdullahi, informed the court that the Commission has written to the AGF, seeking for the extradition of Diezani.

ReplyDeleteYimu..empty noise
DeleteEven as much I will love everyone guilty to face their charges and be convicted if found guilty, why can't EFCC finish with cases of people already in Nigeria? Such as Babachir Lawal, Orji Uzor Kalu, Godswill Akpabio, Fayose, Obanikoro, Olisa Metuh, Dasuki and co before going for someone very far from their reach? I don't just understand this country.
ReplyDeleteTeejay what are you saying that they should leave her? Infact I want them to drag her home, she need to be cooling off in kirikiri with others too.
DeleteYou see that woman up there? Needs to be bundled back to Nigeria.she can't hide forever
