The arrest of Diezani Alison-Madueke in London today may
just be the tip of a well-coordinated international operation
to nab all those suspected to have stolen Nigeria’s oil
money under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan.


Just after the arrest of Diezani in London by the UK
National Crime Agency, EFCC operatives also stormed her
home in Abuja, simultaneously as they also stormed the
home of Jide Omokore, one of her visible business allies
while oil minister.



Omokore owns SPOG and Atlantic Energy. He was said to
be involved in multi-billion dollar oil deals, including
kerosene scam that dented Nigeria’s treasury by over
$6billion. He was famous for throwing a lavish wedding for
his son in Dubai, for ‘a chicken change’ of several millions
of dollars.


According to sources, Omokore’s 9 Turnbull Street home in
Ikoyi was raided today by EFCC operatives. His office on
Glover Street, also in Ikoyi was also under lockdown by
EFCC officials.

One source even said, Omokore’s wife locked herself
inside one of the rooms at Turnbull, hiding from the
operatives.

Diezani, 55, was Nigeria’s first female oil minister and was
believed to have exercised too much power in violation of
the limits of her office.

Under her watch, Nigeria failed to benefit from the oil boom
years, when a barrel was going for over $120, before the
bust of 2014, when prices crashed.

Nigeria’s former governor of Central bank, Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi, cried out about an unremitted $20 billion into the
treasury, but all he got for his whistle-blowing were abuses
and the termination of his appointment, few months to the
end of his tenure.


Lamido is now the powerful Emir Muhammed Sanusi of the
biggest northern Nigerian city of Kano.
Part of the anomalies Sanusi pointed out before he was
sacked by Jonathan was confirmed by the PWC auditors
when they looked into NNPC books and unearthed a 2011
Strategic Partnership Agreements, involving Omokore’s
Atlantic Energy and kola Aluko’s Seven Energy.
In 2011, as part of the efforts to promote local content, Shell
sold its shares in 5 oil fields where NNPC was the majority
shareholder. Shell had been the operator of these oil wells
but NNPC awarded the operator rights to its subsidiary
NPDC , that is, it allowed Shell to sell its shares but not the
rights to operate them as it previously did.
NPDC then signed an ‘agreement’ worth almost $7bn with
Seven Energy(Kola Aluko) (3 fields) and Atlantic Energy(Jide Omokore) (2 fields) for them to operate the fields.
These
companies of course had no clue how to operate the oil
fields – Atlantic was registered as a company the day
before it signed the agreement – so of course they sub-
contracted the work to other companies. Seven Energy’s
contract entitled it to 10% of the profits from the 3 fields
while Atlantic was entitled to 30% of profits in its 2 fields.
Sanusi’s complaint was that these two companies were
pointless and were just collecting money that should have
accrued to Nigeria. The two companies also did not pay
any taxes or royalties whatsoever to Nigeria.

EFCC kept mute on what they looking for in all the homes
raided today. One official simply told TheNEWS: It’s true
that the raids are on. Our men are still there. But I am not
allowed to comment officially”.
President Buhari recently said his government was ready to
prosecute all those who stole Nigeria’s oil money.
