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.
