Mr. Oscar Onwudiwe said in a statement written exclusively for SaharaReporters that the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, who was arrested last week in London on corruption-related offences, began the treatment for cancer in the UK while she was in office.
Although he did not say what form of cancer she was diagnosed with, he added, “The health crisis has unfortunately exacerbated in recent times.”
For most of her tenure in Petroleum, Mrs. Alison-Madueke was the subject of unflattering investigations by the media, some of them reporting her lavish champagne-and-chartered jet lifestyle. She was also the subject of investigations in the federal legislature, but she continued to deny being involved in any corrupt deals. She was reportedly trying to be trying to buy a luxury mansion in one of Britain’s most exclusive locations last week when she was arrested.
SaharaReporters exclusively reported in May that Mrs. Alison-Madueke somehow booked herself on the same London-bound flight of then President-elect Muhammadu Buhari. During the First Class flight, she repeatedly tried to strike up a conversation with Buhari, who ignored her, according to reliable sources in the cabin. She has not returned to Nigeria since fleeing the country only a few days before President Buhari’s inauguration.
It was reported at about the same time that the outgoing Petroleum Minister had said she was in the United Kingdom to receive medical treatment for cancer.
In his statement, Mr. Onwudiwe said that her client underwent chemotherapy last week and is scheduled to undergo surgery next week. SaharaReporters could not independently confirm those statements.
Alison-Madueke was arrested along with four other people on Friday October 2nd by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) for bribery and money laundering.
The agency confirmed her arrest. It further noted that she paid her bail and was released. On Monday this week at the Westminster Magistrates Court, the NCA said that it had also detained 27,000 pounds sterling from her.

UPDATE: Mr. Oscar Onwudiwe has revealed that Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke has breast cancer stating that her husband will be traveling to the UK soon.

Are you trying to say that she's not suffering from breast cancer

Maybe she hide the money in her breast. *just kidding*. But when you she was a minister she was healthy allthrough her tenure; how someone's health can change so soon.

Why is every BAD thing just happen to this madam @ once? The evil that men do live WITH them.... Sha do quick, return our money (and, or) go to jail.

Since when has her breast cancer become a serious issue to us, if GEJ had successfully imposed himself further, I am sure her breast surgery could have waited until 2020.
Let her cooperate with authorities and help recover looted funds under the sector she headed, there are tonnes of people who dying slowly of hunger and much serious conditions.

I never liked ds woman from day one,she and NOI. They stole our money with their big grammar.

Alison-Madueke was arrested along with four other people on Friday October 2nd by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) for bribery and money laundering.

Her lawyer said she was never arrested nor her passport seized but was only invited for questioning.

Sahara reporters keeps feeding Nigerians lies as usual.

And her cancer treatment has been in the news before the end of Gej administration.

Sahara reporters

So what?

She's got the money, spend it and recover soon.

Don't use that as a plea bargain na...

Whoever wishes me or my family cancer because of my comment....there shall always be wailings on cancer in his life or family.
